This is Scunthorpe

SCUNTHORPE steelmen are making a naked effort to raise money for charity in their own version of a Women's Institute famous 'Calendar Girls' appeal.

Yard manager Steve Hare organised 14 Rainham Steel workers for a semi-nude calendar in aid of Lindsey Lodge Hospice.

The calendar, which is expected to launch on Tuesday, was shot in the yard of the stockholder's premises.

It will be sold at shops across Scunthorpe, including the Scunthorpe United shop at Glanford Park, Asda and Lindsey Lodge stores.

Steve said: "A lot of the lads at work have had parents in Lindsey Lodge.

"We thought we would do a semi-naked calendar to raise money for them, so 14 of us got together.

Steve thinks they could raise about £9,300 with the calendar.

Lindsey Lodge corporate fundraiser Michelle Toon said the steelmen's contribution was most welcome.

She said: "Steve at Rainham Steel has done some tremendous work for us, getting support."
