BRAVE members of a Backwell theatre company have found a novel way to promote their new production and raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK at the same time.

Backwell Playhouse Theatre Company has begun rehearsals for Calendar Girls which will be staged later this month, along with posing nude for their own version of the popular WI calendar.

The show, at the Mariners Drive venue, will run from September 25-29, starting at 7.30pm.

Tickets, costing �10 for members, or �8 for non-members, are available from Alan and Ruth on 01275 462621 or Mollie on 0117 9641723.

The 2013 calendars will be on sale, for a minimum donation of �8, in the foyer during the shows and can also be obtained from local shops and by visiting www.backwellcalendargirls.eu.pn
