Hi all!


Well.....no more holydays guys and gals, it’s time to work again :smiling3:


I’ve been starting to work on the new 2016 calendar, and I have new suggestions and ideas....


But the first step, is your vote!


So we have a current thread, where you can post new ideas and vote your favourite suggestions for the next 2016 GBs.


(Please, read the whole thread before you click on the link :smiling3: )


http://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/2016-gb-sig-suggestions-thread.30173/


The mentioned thread will be closed on Wednesday 30 September. So you have this entire month to add your last ideas and votes.


Is very important that you vote, please! (Is simple, just clicking the LIKE gong on your favourites).



On 30 September, I will select the most voted ideas as a pre-selection.


NOTE: Once closed the thread, you can still voting, but those votes will be not valid, so take care!


On Thursday 1 October to Friday 16 October I will open a thread explaining the new ideas for the 2016 GB’s format. Is important to give you the opportunity to choice or decide the format.... On the thread you will find three options. Model A: is the actual format we are using. And Model B / Model C: These are just new suggestions.... that I will explain on 1 October.


A simple poll will decide the 2016 format.


NOTE: Of course, I will be agree to respond at any debate, anyway, I hope the members that never join to the GBs don't try to confuse all the others......So, sorry, but I will be very strict there.


From Saturday 17 to Saturday 24 October, The 2016 format must be choice, so we will use this week for possible questions, polls (if there is more than one idea with the same votes) or other possible unexpected themes.


On Friday 30 October, I will publish the official 2016 GB Calendar.


Then you can write your wish list, Christmas list or simply go to Telford with an idea of the new GB that are waiting for you :smiling3:


Thanks for your help, and if there is any question or other themes, please post them here.


Regards
