The group shot over the pool table is the best! It was freezing. This is the first and last time I'll get naked!&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The idea for the calendar &ndash; which is to be launched at a fundraising event on Saturday (November 20th) &ndash; came about after one of the pub's barmen Lewis Wilby headed out to Afghanistan with the Irish guards.<\/p>\n<p>Costing &pound;10 each, it is hoped the saucy snaps will, along with a &pound;5 contribution from each of the pub's New Year's Eve tickets, raise a total of &pound;5,000 for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, 30 ladies from Dumfries and Galloway recently posed in a nude calendar shoot to generate cash for the charity, the Dumfries and Galloway Standard reported.<br> Posted by Simon Williams<br> &nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-800244210-ADNFCR\"
