WITNEY businessman Chris Clinkard pulled out all the stops to produce a charity calendar in just 10 days.

All proceeds from the saucy burlesque-themed calendar will go to the Abingdon-based charity Against Breast Cancer, and Mr Clinkard, who runs The Beautiful Group, is hoping that the 500 copies, at £5 each, will be snapped up fast.

“I found out that Against Breast Cancer was not producing a calendar this year, so I knew I had to do something, and quickly,” he said. “There were 11 businesses involved in getting this fantastic calendar produced, as well as all the wonderful models and helpers who made it possible.”

Samantha Ciudiskis, 34, of Witney, said she really enjoyed modelling. She said: “I have lost five stone in weight this year, so it was great to put on a basque and have fun, and it was for a great cause.”

The calendar, priced £5, goes on sale today at four Witney shops: Renaissance; Beautiful Creases; Hook and Eye; and Cotswold Kids, plus Kontempo in Hailey, or call 01993 708330 to order.
