Sale of Photos in GE30k Run 2008

I am pleased to inform that Tey Eng Tiong and a few volunteers are contributing their time and efforts by doing good deeds to Pacesetters Club. He will be taking photos for the GE30km Run (Great Eastern - Pacesetters 30Km Run) this Sunday morning, 20 January. The proceeds from the sales of photos (50%) will go to Pacesetters Club. Appreciate it that all runners can support this initiative.

On race day, this is how it works:

1. Capturing Photos
a.
TeyET will take as many photos of runners as possible in the GE30k Run
b. When the memory card of the camera is full or within 30 minutes (whichever comes first), a volunteer will take the memory card and upload photos into a PC Notebook located on-site.


2. Converting Photos
a.
The volunteer will establish a list containing runners' bib numbers and the corresponding photo IDs.
b. Multiple lists are then posted on the notice board located nearby.


3. Ordering Photos
a.
Runners will then refer to the list to identify the photo IDs corresponding to their bib numbers
b. Note: There will be no preview of photos as the PC Notebook is used for conversion and identification of photos. Maybe next time, when we can LAN (local area network) up the PC Notebooks, then there will be spare PC for viewing
c. An intended buyer will then fill up a form indicating photo IDs; name, email address and total payable
d. Make actual payment in cash to the volunteer who will collect the money (sorry, credit card is not accepted at the moment)
e. Important: photos must be order on the same morning. Remember to bring $$$.

4. Receiving Photos
a. The volunteer will later send the original softcopy of the photos to the email IDs specified (in the ordering form) within a day or two.
b. However, for purchase via CD-ROM, the CD-ROM is created immediately and hand over to the purchaser.

Cost of Photos
a. Each photo costs RM1 for softcopy that is good for printing 4R-size photo (sorry, no printing of hard copy service... photo printer not available)
b. For photos burn in CD-ROM, additional RM 3 is charged.

Hi,KC tks for your help and the soft copy if purchase by runners,I will try my best to email them before 6pm on sunday.

Encourage runners to buy by email photos,volunteers time.
