All my friends will tell you that I'm the last person to blow my own trumpet (I leave that to the ladies of my acquaintance). It is with some reluctance, therefore, that I publicise the innovatory method of raising funds for my hunt which I established over a decade ago. At that time we had the usual fund-raising events: drunken balls and summer fairs with the standard issue of dreary stalls and games: home-made jams, a coconut shy, stick-the-tail-on-the-terrierman etc. Which brings me to my brainwave. You may have seen the film with those lasses from up North who decided to sell calendars of themselves with their togs off. I actually thought of this first and suggested it to the hunt committee. The result was a triumphant success and people still talk about the charms of Ms February, mounting her nag in the buff outside the Burleigh Arms. I'm happy to record that I certainly made it a leap year for that particular filly!
