Feisty work on the farm
A SAUCY bunch of young farmers have posed naked for a charity calendar.
Feisty women members of Young Farmers' Clubs (YFCs) in Winkleigh, Alverdiscott, Buckland Brewer, Woolsery and Shebbear, North Devon, stripped off for the pictures which have now been collected in a 2010 calendar in aid of Cancer Research UK.
The pictures feature 11 naked girls performing all manner of farmyard chores – from milking the cows and dressing horses to firing shotguns.
The project was the brainchild of 18-year-old Winkleigh YFC member Hayley Cooper.
She said: "I try and do something for charity every year but this has been by far the most nerve-wracking.
"When I first had the idea and rang around the YFCs to see who was interested, loads of girls signed up but said they never thought it would actually happen.
"When I rang them all back a few months later to say that I had booked the photographer, they were all very surprised and worried – a few even made their excuses and dropped out."
Young Farmers pose naked for a charity calender
Despite initial worries, the final 11 girls met at Hayley's farm in Roborough on Sunday July 5 and were snapped in a variety of poses.
Miss June, Georgie Harris of Winkleigh YFC, said: "The day of the shoot was most amusing – especially when the local churchgoers of Roborough turned up for a service and got a good eyeful of me posing for my photo."
Miss September, Jenny Ashton of Shebbear YFC, said: "I was slightly nervous but after the first photo, I was well up for it.
"The only down side of the day was being pooed on by the cow I was standing with!
"It was extremely funny but I had to be cleaned off while standing naked in a parlour."
Organiser Hayley said: "Both my grandads and my auntie died of cancer so my main motivation for doing this calendar is for them.
"We hope to raise more than £2,000 from sales of the calendar, all of which will go to Cancer Research UK."
You can pick up a copy of the calendar at the New Inn at Roborough, or by e-mailing Hayley at hayleyc_rox@hotmail.co.uk

“Charles, I suspect that he, Freud, would have anticipated you as having a view that you wished to express when others were simply satisfied by the sight of a few pretty lasses in all their glory.

“Actually Theo the original "Calender Girls" calendar was done over ten years ago. The novelty has somewhat worn off of people dropping their kit for charity.
Still naked women are a beautiful sight, and who am I to disagree with the feminist lot that they should have every right to wear what, or at least as little as, they like.”
