A group of local men have bared all for a charity calendar to raise funds for a group for people living with prostate cancer.
An event will be held to 'Meet the Calendar Boys' on Saturday night in Carnforth where copies of the calendar, made in aid of the Bay Prostate Support Group, will be available.
The group is for people living with or beyond prostate cancer, their loved ones and carers, and hosts friendly meetings, shared experience, emotional support, medical information and guest speakers across Lancaster, Kendal and Bentham.
The men who have posed without some, or all, of their clothes - all tastefully done, of course - include Bob Mitchell, who has owned the Munchbox food van on the A6 between Bolton-le-Sands and Carnforth for about 27 years.
Bob, who is 'Mr December', is shown in the calendar posing topless in his food van cooking a sausage!
"My best customer and friend Don died from prostate cancer and I had to do this to honour his memory," he said.
The other 'models' are:
Mr January - Steff, a retired scrap man, whose dad died of cancer at 47.
Mr February - Ben from KA Metcalfe Building and Groundwork of Morecambe, who said: "Everyone has dealt with the big C at some point and it’s nice to do something positive and give back."
Mr March - Dave, who describes himself as a semi-retired layabout, who said: "I’m sure we have all been touched by this horrible disease at some time."
Mr April - Ephy, who says he's the calendar's eye candy! "Although cancer hasn’t affected me directly, I know a lot of people who have been," he said.
Mr May - Isaac who works on a farm. He said: "I just wanted to get involved as it’s a good cause."
Mr June - Stef, painter and decorator from SK Decorating, who while in his 20s lost one of his closest friends to cancer.
Mr July - James, who said that "doing anything for a good cause is a definite yes from me."
Mr August - Lee, a crane operator, who said: "I was in the Army and I've lost too many good friends, who were too young, to cancer."
Mr September - Paul from Winckley Street Ale House in Preston, who said: "I was asked to take the photos, met some great guys and decided that I should join in for such a good cause."
Mr October - Ric, a carpenter and kitchen fitter from Woodpro Carpentry Solutions of Carnforth. He said: "My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer in January 2024 and, thankfully, has now been given the all clear. I’m bearing all in the hope that more men are diagnosed early and have the same fortunate outcome."
Sam from Sam Knowles Painting and Decorating in Morecambe. He said: "I have two uncles currently under treatment for prostate cancer, so it’s something close to home. I’m always up for helping out anyway."
The 'Meet the Calendar Boys' event will be held at Carnforth Cricket Club on Saturday, November 14 at 7pm.
The Bay Prostate Cancer Support Group offers a friendly, confidential forum for men affected by prostate cancer, including those living beyond treatment.
Partners, loved ones and carers are warmly welcomed. Members share experiences, hear from medical professionals and guest speakers, and help one another through diagnosis, treatment and recovery
