THE ENVIRONMENTAL CALENDAR!

YES! It’s finally here…. The Sussex Enviro-mental Society Calendar! (and we must be mental to do it!) It’s taken a lot of effort, time and nakedness to get to this point, but hopefully by the start of week 6 (that’s the 7^th Nov!) we will finally be ready to start selling them!

Basically, the idea is the same as in ‘calendar girls’- except we’re not all middle-aged women! Each month is based around a different aspect of environmentalism (i.e. water efficiency, recycling, organic produce, etc) and there’s plenty of useful hints and tips on how to make yourself as eco-friendly as possible, with the minimum amount of effort!

Oh yes- and we’re all semi-naked!

Let me assure you, it’s nothing you wouldn’t want to show your mum (mine has already ordered three!) it’s all very tastefully done, and all for a good cause. The profits are to be split between local and national charities, with a proportion going towards the eco-house fund.

But enough waffle! Where’s the pics? I hear you cry. Well, below is just a sneak preview of some of them (including our brave and fearless Union President!)….

That’s as much as you’re gonna get! If you want to see Roger in all his glory, as well as the rest of us, you will have to purchase a copy for yourself!

The calendars will be on sale as from the start of week 6, priced at a very reasonable £5. They will be available every Tues at the environmental society stall in Library square, and also from the Activities Centre (Falmer house). If you do not want to come on to campus, please email me at: sussexenvirosoc@googlemail.com and I will sort out payment and delivery by other methods.

There will be a launch party on Monday 7^th November in East Slope, starting about 8 pm. The music will be pretty funky- hopefully including Dermot of ‘Unwind’ fame! There will be a raffle and competition to win a signed copy of the calendar (WOW!) and possibly a date with a model (if I can persuade anyone!) We are also hoping to show you some of the other pictures that didn’t make it into the calendar (trust me- it’s worth it!) as long as we can get over certain ‘censorship’ hurdles!

Can we take this opportunity to thank everyone involved- firstly Michael (I’m not Canadian!) for all his tireless work taking the pictures, designing and generally sorting out pretty much everything! Paul- for taking some amazing pictures as well (it’s a hard old job!) All the fearless models (although there is something liberating about being naked in the middle of campus!) thank you so, so much! All the guys in the Union and all our mates for the support (and general piss-taking!), and most of all Miriam and Dan- without which nothing would ever get done, and the society would simply not exist!

We hope everyone enjoys their calendars. It’s taken a year and a lot of work to get done, but we think you’ll all agree it’s worth it!

Cheers and respect to the lot of you.
