Wish I could have been there for the swim! - it would have been worth a whole thread on it's own. By the way, I'm pretty sure the lady who made the naked trek to the end of the pier was the one doing the hair styling in the November picture - at least judging by how red she went they were talking, and by the way the other girls seemed to be teasing her about it.
I'm lucky that I have been able to visit the places to buy the calendars.
Regarding chatting to the participants when buying the calendars, I've generally found it quite easy, but that's probably because I have been mainly buying from groups and teams who want the public to buy them. Mostly the people concerned are really pleased that I'm buying their calendar and are quite happy to chat about it, with little encouragement from me. I'm glad to pass the information on, and hope it's adding to the enjoyment of the photos, not boring everyone to death!
I always feel that students would rather sell their calendars to fellow students and, rightly or wrongly, don't really feel so comfortable talking to them.
