SIX Warminster women have bared it all and taken a trip back in time for charity after posing topless for a Second World War-themed calendar.

They stripped off to raise funds for Alzheimer’s Support for the calendar, which takes a twist on the popular film Calendar Girls and has placed the ladies in everyday situations from the war.

Andrea Pearce, of P & R Productions which organised the calendar and who has been a dementia champion since March this year, said: “We’ve done this calendar to commemorate the end of the Second World War celebrations and also raise money for Alzheimer’s Support.

“We’ve tried to depict every aspect of what the women were doing during the war, so we have factory girls, and girls in uniform from the Army, Navy and Airforce.”

The calendar will be officially launched at a 1940s themed evening at Warminster Civic Centre on October 24.

Mrs Pearce is hopeful donations will reach £3,000, after £5,000 was raised for Dorothy House Hospice two years ago, courtesy of another calendar and amateur production of The Calendar Girls at Warminster’s Athenaeum.

“All of the women in the calendar – Kira Cranfield, Elaine Orchard, Carly Keene, Rebecca Ward-Murphy, Hazel Loveday and Wendy Dopheide – are from Warminster and most of them were in the original Calendar Girls that we did,” Mrs Pearce added.

“We have got the BJ Big Band booked and people are already learning to dance the foxtrot and are getting their 1940s outfits.

“I think that the calendar will be popular, or I hope so, as there’s been lots going on to commemorate the war this year so I think people will really get behind it.”

Tickets for the launch party cost £10 and can be purchased from the Warminster Hub or on 01985 988675.
