MUSCLE-mad regulars at a Horwich gym have raised more than £500 for charity with a fundraising calendar.

Members of Jay's Gym in Horwich stripped off for the calendar to raise money for the Christie Hospital in memory of gym regular and black belt karate instructor Dave Sutton, who died of skin cancer in 2002, aged 33. Last year the lads raised £375 from a similar calendar, and aimed to break the £500 barrier with this year's sales.

The calendars, which were sold for £5 each, were the idea of Jonathan Tuplin, owner of the Telford Street gym, and photos were taken by gym member Peter Barry.
