Some do car washes, some do bake sales but this team went all in and do a nude calendar to raise money for their team. Bristol University Netball players stripped down naked to do a 2012 calendar. And yes, it worked!

The girls are hoping to net enough cash to fund their team for the next year.

And the sporting students’ snaps have already proved hugely popular online after a Facebook group promoting the calendar, which is out tomorrow, received thousands of hits.

Fundraising officer Maddie McKenzie said: “The response we’ve had has been absolutely amazing.”

Politics student Maddie, 19, was one of the 20 girls who ditched her skirt and bib for the fundraising shoot.

She said: “It was a lot of fun. The support we’ve had has been fantastic, especially from our families and friends.

“I’m not sure my parents knew what to expect when I told them I was in a naked calendar, but hopefully they won’t be too shocked.

“We’ll see when I give it to my family members for a Christmas present.

“Some of the pictures are a little bit saucy but it was a lot of fun.

“We did it to raise money for the club, and although we do have sponsorship we needed more money to help with running costs.

“We initially ordered 250 calendars but we’ve already had to order some more – the interest has been amazing.”
