Howard Smiths 2004 calendar to fight cancer

Former world snooker champion Steve Davis MBE has officially launched Howard Smith Paper Groups Dare to Bare, calendar, which aims to raise 100,000 for the Orchid Cancer Appeal.

Howard Smith Paper is donating 20,000 to start the campaign. The calendar, in homage to the film Calendar Girls, features 25 Howard Smith employees pictured in their working environment, albeit naked.

Davis is vice president of the Orchid Cancer Appeal, a charity dedicated to funding research into the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of testicular cancer and prostate cancer, and to increase awareness.

Davis and Howard Smith chief executive Martyn Eustace stripped down to their bare essentials for the launch of the calendar at Davis parents home in Romford, Essex.
