Latest Poll

Hi everyone,
I have to say I was surprised at the results to the current poll - Should ExplorOz continue to create memorabillia photo prints from Members Photo Comps to auction at National Gatherings? 44% YES. The reason we ask this question is that we have had two auctions so far and NO proxy bids were received to either, and only a few active voters participate at the auctions and this meant we only just covered costs with the final bid which doesn't cover the enormous effort put in by organisers to have judges select the photos for the print, organise for the print to be created on canvas, delievered and to organise an auctioneer. We are happy to put the effort in if it is valued enough that it becomes a great fundraiser for charity but it is a bit deflating when it isn't that successful. Some of you know, that the same person has managed to get both canvas prints from 2009 and 2010. I was thinking of canning the idea, but still running the Members Photo Comp - as that is very popular and we can sort out much bigger prizes and do it more frequently but I'm specifically interested in the auction of the canvas print. So continue to vote, and if you wish to discuss, do it here. Thanks :-)
