Celebrity guest speakers included former Eastenders star, Michael Cashman MEP and BBC presenter / Journalist, Carol Bundock.

Michael delivered a powerful speech that touched on the explosive moment he helped make history when UK TV saw it’s first gay kiss. A kiss which led to not just public and political controversy but the start of attacking headlines by National press. David Todd from Norwich and District Carers Forum was the main sponsor for the event – The evening was introduced by former Lord Mayor of Norwich Jeremy Hooke. Jeremy was the youngest ever Lord Mayor for Norwich after he was chosen to fulfil the historic and prestigious civic role in 2008.
Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans History Month takes place every year in February. It celebrates the lives and achievements of the LGBT community. It’s committed to educate, celebrate and promote its diversity and that of society as a whole. LGBT History Month is an opportunity for all of us to learn more about the histories of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in the UK. In the past, LGBT people often remained hidden due to legislation. Even though we applaud the changing legal and social climate, many still live in fear of ostracism, prejudice, victimisation, assault, and even murder. Education and awareness can change this.

Exclusive photo highlights – Bev Andrews, Kim and Mandy turned on the style to make the Norfolk Country Roses 2012 charity calendar. The ambitious mums in their 40′s / 50 posed for shots in evening gowns, bikinis, and on the back of a Harley Davidson motorbike
It was a real pleasure to work with Bev Andrews, Mandy Jenner and Kim Balding all three ladies in their 40′s / 50. The exciting Norfolk Roses Calendar was masterminded by Bev Andrews to raise cash for The Wish Foundation that looks after children that are very sick and seek to fulfill their dreams/wishes. I would like to thank Bev for making me aware of this worthwhile charity.
After I researched the charity I immediately knew that I wanted to help out with photography and direcection. The challenge was on to work with three ladies in their 40′s/50, two of them hadn’t done modelling before and the whole calendar was to be shot in a day! In over two decades of being in the industry I knew only too well this kind of job takes over two weeks at least. We were certainly going to be working against the clock.
I’m overjoyed at the results and for the ladies that put 100% into the project. It proves there is no age limit in beauty and it doesn’t stop at main stream stereotyped modelling. I thoroughly enjoyed working with people from ordinary walks of life that wanted to give it a go. We had lots of fun making the calendar and used landmarks from the beautiful North Norfolk coast as our scenic backdrop.
To order and buy calendars, please contact Bev through her email: – bevandrews@ic24.net.
