When Charlie Charnick set herself the task of finding 12 good men and true to strip off in the name of charity she thought they might take some persuading.

But two nights later, with January to December firmly snapped up on her digital camera, Charlie was very pleasantly surprised - and so are we!

Inspired by the Women's Institute nearly naked calendar, Charlie took the pictures of the 12 Harleston boys to raise money for the charity Scope.

The calendar are currently on sale for £5.99 at various places in Harleston and by all accounts are selling very well.

Charlie, who plans to go on a trek to Peru with Scope, hopes the calendar will help raise the £2,500 she needs in sponsorship before she can go on the trip in June 2003.

So how much persuading did Charlie have to do?

"It was very, very easy and didn't take much persuading at all. Most of the boys are friends.

"I was in the bar and discussing how I was still a couple of people short and one guy who must've overheard, said 'I'll do it' and promptly stripped off and ran into the restaurant!

Luckily it hadn't opened yet!" added Charlie.
