Winterslow Calendar Girls
Yesterday afternoon I was proud to be able to support the launch of an unusual fundraising project when the Winterslow Calendar Girls officially launched their charity calendar yesterday at Salisbury Racecourse.
The work that these women have done to raise funds for the Salisbury District Hospital Breast Cancer unit for the community is outstanding – not to mention their willingness to bare (almost) all in a good cause.
I understand the project has not been without hitches – I hear Miss May fell off a racehorse whilst modelling and Miss November experienced a rather interesting incident involving three tanks driving past on Salisbury Plain – but I have nothing but admiration for the energy and humour surrounding the project. It has been backed to the hilt by local businesses and the result is a credit to the participants. I wish them every success in reaching their £11,000 target.
