Female Club Whose Nude Photos Were 'Too Pornographic' For Facebook Bare All In New Calendar

The University of Warwick Rowing Society were left devastated earlier this year when photos from their previous calender were branded 'too pornographic' by Facebook and were removed from the site. An all women rowing club whose charity snaps were banned from Facebook have overcome their previous disappointment to launch their third nudist calender. The 2014 calender was a huge success selling over 1,500 copies and raising thousands of pounds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Mailonline reports that the social networking site said that the photos breached their 'pornographic and nudity' laws and removed the black-and-white nude photos - claiming it contained 'explicitly sexual content'.
Despite last year's controversy the women have remained undeterred and have released images from their 2015 calender containing even more naked images of the rowers claiming it is their best calender yet. Featuring 12 members of the university's rowing club, the girls - aged between 18 and 21 - can be seen frolicking in their boat house on the River Avon in Barford, Warks.
The young women are hopeful that their third naked calendar will be met the same success of their previous efforts having raised a whopping £5,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support over the years. Although January is still a little way off the girls have already received 200 pre-orders from across the globe for their 2015 calendar, including from the Gay and Lesbian Rowing Federation in Boston, USA.
Third year history and politics student Sophie Bell, 20, from Upminster, Essex, who helped organised the 2015 calendar, said the girls have not held back with their latest efforts. 'We were all disappointed when the page was removed because we are students so social media is one of the main ways we market and advertise the calendar.
'It really hurt us when it was branded as porn because that is exactly the opposite of what we want to do. 'We are all strong-minded women and our first thought is to make sure the shots are tastefully done so it makes a calendar we can all be proud of.'
