WI leaders differ over Bramley’s Liter touch
Tuesday 2nd September 2008, 2:29PM BST.
THE new calendar girls in Bramley have caused a stir among the island’s WI members.
The Bramley Women’s Institute Lite, of which former Guernsey Press reporter Emma Cunningham (pictured) is president, attracted the national media’s attention after posing for a charity calendar.
It was also revealed that they have held classes in painting with a nude male model, bra fittings and have a forthcoming visit from a sex therapist.
President of the Fermain Women’s Institute Lorna Le Prevost did not approve.
‘I think it’s a publicity stunt that has gone wrong and they are emulating the Calendar Girls, which to me isn’t the WI,’ she said.
‘I don’t approve of these things and I doubt and certainly hope it won’t catch on. ‘I never approved of the Calendar Girls and I think that these girls are taking things a little bit too far.’

Absolutely agree – raising money for a good charitable cause? Disgusting! Heaven forbid the WI move into the 21st Century.
