About this deal

Media coverage was slim, broadcasts of their games were non-existent, and major sponsorships were a pipedream. They needed to do something different. Something daring. Something that no women's football team had done before.

With the Sydney 2000 Olympics on the horizon, Australian sports teams were desperate to gain some publicity before a game-changing year for the nation. Islesburgh Drama Group president Stanley Manson thanked those who will be “baring all” for the charity calendar. In addition to shining a spotlight on the financial issues plaguing the governing body, Senator Lundy also noted the broader structural inequalities between men's and women's sport that led to such decisions. The only people who knew us were within the soccer community, and compared to what it is now, it was very small. But what the calendar did was put our name out there. We may not have been competitive internationally as we are now, but people knew who we were. Myself and others from our riding school/livery yard have produced a naked calendar to raise funds for HEART (Highland Equine And Riding Therapy) which is a small local charity supporting children and adults with disabilities or long term health conditions to enjoy the benefits of horse riding. It started as a joke, but in fact everyone really got into the spirit of the project and gained lots of confidence. In fact, some people seemed happier to have their clothes off than on!” — Christine FletcherNaturally, the nude calendar ruffled some more conservative feathers in the media, too, with the criticisms leaning into old tropes surrounding women with sexual agency choosing the ways in which they presented their bodies to the world.

They're professional. We were 'full-time': I was a full-time athlete, I was working. I wasn't a professional athlete. These girls are fully professional. It's a different world for them now, and it's fantastic. Tying in with their production of Calendar Girls– the story of where this whole thing began – St Neots Am Dram group VAMPS is producing a calendar tie-in featuring local businesses to raise money for the Hunts Community Cancer Network. As a young kid growing up playing football, a lot of people made comments about my physique because I'm athletic," she says. The cast of the forthcoming production of Calendar Girls will be producing their own nude charity calendar to raise money for three cancer charities. Every year organisations across the country now persuade people to get naked and sell calendars to raise cash for good causes.

As ever, we have probably missed a few – if you know of any that we’ve missed, or indeed have taken part in any that we’ve missed, be sure to let us know. And note that the availability of particular calendars might be limited in number and international delivery – and UK postage strikes in particular might affect delivery in time for the start of the year. The photographs in this calendar are all hunting related, and the people featured are Worcestershire supporters or hunt staff!” — Rachel Maddox Now in its 30th year, the Australian Firefighters calendar – which comes in a remarkable six variations featuring different cuddly animals posing alongside the shirtless men – is raising money for the Kids With Cancer Foundation, Native Animal Rescue, Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital and more. A more professional affair than most but you can’t argue with its success. She remembers her mum running around to several newsagencies buying up copies of the calendar once it had been released, and still has Alicia's photo framed and hanging in her house.
