What's the point of all that dieting and exercise if you can't show off the fruits of your labour once in a while?

Members of the Rosemary Conley diet and fitness clubs from Esher and Thames Ditton took their cue from the film Calendar Girls and stripped off for a tastefully nude calendar to raise money for Breast Cancer Research.

In fact it took one or two glasses of bubbly before everyone was in the mood for the photo shoot. Organiser Jan Smith said: "Now we're all fit, healthy and losing weight, it seemed appropriate to do something that would help a worthy cause, whilst celebrating our own successes and have a good day out at the same time!"

The calendar was shot at St Mary's Church Hall in Chessington by local photographer Lois Kerrison from Reflecting Images who donated her services. The ladies were also treated to a professional make up session by Mary Kay Cosmetics.

Jan, who posed in the June photograph, said: "When I first told them about the idea, there were shrieks! I did give them the opportunity to say no', but out of 35 ladies in the class, 28 immediately said yes'! We started at 10am and I have to say there was considerable bucks fizz flowing! We had an absolute scream of a day."

Fellow model Jocelyn Oram said: "It was bit nerve-racking having your wobbly bits floating around, but the day was fantastic and created a real sense of camaraderie amongst the group."

The club members are hoping to raise over £1,500 for Breast Cancer Research when the calendar goes on sale for £8 each at their Christmas party next week.
