Media outlets are showing considerable interest in the Calender the residents of Queenspark sheltered housing made to raise some funds for their working committee. With the help of photographer Ian MacRae they created a sensational calender that is fast becoming a runaway success. Here's a piece from the Daily Record:
"FUN-LOVING pensioners yesterday revealed Scotland's most bonkers charity calendar.
At 100, Peggy Phimister led the way as 14 OAPs - with a combined age of 1143 years - clambered into fancy dress costume to recreate famous movies, comedy scenes and fairytales.
Peggy said: "After the telegram from the Queen in July and my birthday party, this was the best thing this year. I thoroughly enjoyed it."
The pensioners thought they would be lucky to sell 100 at £6 a time to swell their working committee coffers. But sales have gone through the roof - at the last count 500 and rising."
