Everyone loves getting things in the post !
Great news ! We've received the first print of the Nearly Naked Rugby Calendar, so those of you of want one can now order one through me ! I've been asked to collect the money myself and hand it to the club rather than having you pay them, and they will then give me calendars to distribute.
