A UNIQUE leaving present has turned into a money making scheme thanks to the model staff of a Lancaster Pub.

When the duty manager of the Green Ayre Pub on North Road left, his thoughtful employees decided to strike a pose in their own calendar as a touching personal tribute.

But the idea sparked off interest on both sides of the bar and they realised there was potential to make some money for charity.

Sales have raised about £100 in the last week alone, says manager Max Smith, pictured in his calendar pose.

Copies are on sale from the pub at £2, with proceeds going to the Weatherspoons charity CLIC (Cancer and Leukaemia in Childhood.
