Bournemouth airport firefighters launch charity calendar
26.11.06
Fighters from Bournemouth Airport have published a 2007 charity calendar. Sixteen fire fighters based at the airport stripped off to raise funds for Wessex Autistic Society. The photo shoot, featuring both male and female fire fighters, took place at the airport during the summer.
The society's specialist Portfield School for autistic children is situated a stone's throw from the airport and is currently trying to raise the funds needed to build a therapy pool for use by its own pupils, local disability groups and adult autism sufferers living in the community.
Sally Windsor, press spokeswoman at the airport, said: 'Our sister airports at Humberside and Nottingham East Midland have done something similar so we thought we would give it a go as a great fundraising exercise. We approached the fire fighters and they were thrilled to do it.'
The calendar, which costs £10 each, is available via the airport's website at www.bournemouthairport.co.uk or from the airport information desk and tax-free shop.
