True, but we cannot make it compulsory to vote and in any case the 40 or so in one day are likely to be mostly the same 40 or so as on the next day.   It is a common factor with most forums that there is a small hardcore of active members and a much larger number who just lurk; it's not unique to us.

Very very tricky.  I changed my vote when I considered the topic for the month!

Sad but true, we have a very very small number of hardore members, the rest, well god knows where they are, buy they are certainly not here..
When you have such a system such as this comp that allows anyone to in a matter of seconds to make a choice and vote very easily and  a great many of members dont do it, really what can we do...  :(
From the moment you first glimpsed the Queen,
 you just knew you were in for a very special time ahead.!

Got me computer sort of working again, & thought that I hadn't voted, however found the votes cast page , so must've done it before the crash,. Found myself wondering ,would I have voted any differently, mmmmnm?.
Please peoples vote in the competition, all photos posted form part of the QE2 story , if the competition folds for lack of votes , no more unseen photos of QE2 for posterity,  simples (as they say in the ad)

Taking part in the competition also provides a great reason to look through all of our old photos. I hadn't seen some of mine for years. Now some of them get a chance of an airing in a wider audience and I also have some nice photos cycling in the background as my desktop wallpaper as a constant reminder of happy days.

23 people have voted so far. 2 photos are tied for the lead, and 3 others trying to catch up.

Your vote could make all the difference!
