YP Comment: Calendar Girls and their legacy
Their latest venture could not be more quintessentially English – Tea with the Girls – as they look to raise funds for Bloodwise, the leading blood cancer research charity. Like their original calendar which became a global phenomenon and encouraged others to pose in various states of undress, they hope others will hold cream teas where any personal embarrassment can be kept to a minimum.
Who would have thought that the death of John Baker from non-Hodgkins Lymphoma would inspire his Calendar Girl wife Angela – the original Miss February – to come up with a novel idea which continues to raise lifesaving, and life-changing, sums of money?
