After ten years and a smash hit movie which told their story, the ladies of the Rylstone Women’s Institute are donning their baps and buns once more for a new calendar.
The original Calendar Girls have produced a calendar for 2010 which will once more raise funds for leukaemia. The original venture was launched in 1999 after one of the ‘girls’, Angela Baker, lost her husband John, to non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.
Back then they only aimed to raise some funds to purchase a settee for a hospital waiting room but the £3million they raised exceeded their wildest dreams. This new calendar, now in colour, will surely sell even more.
All power to these ladies; female beauty comes in all forms and these ladies are stunning in their own unique way…
“The flowers of Yorkshire are like the women of Yorkshire. In each phase of their lives they become more radiant, but the last phase is their most glorious…”
John Baker would be so proud.
