Kings of Clubs


'I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member'
Groucho Marx


In addition to sporting your new clothes, getting a new locker, and your class schedule, the first week of school also includes a little clubbing.  You all remember that big bulletin board near the front entrance to your school.  The board was usually full of announcements and lists.  It's where they posted who was cast in the school musical, who made the basketball team, and at the beginning of the year, the list of school clubs and activities to join.


I was lucky my high school had everything.  In addition to every sport imaginable, you could join the chess cub, the computer club, model parliament, student counsel, choir, the school play, the band, the French or Spanish club.  There was even a club for the annual school trip.  Although I played hockey, I never made the school hockey team.  I did play basketball, badminton and one year of volleyball.  I was also on the student counsel, in the choir, the ski club, model parliament, the yearbook team and that group who planned the trip.


There was a lot of excitement when signing those lists on the bulletin board,  checking out who else signed up, and what the year and club would be like.  Depending on the teacher overseeing each club, they were either a lot of fun, or a bore that you dropped out of by November.


Thanks to Michael Andrews73a and his passion for naked calendars, these incredible shots are from the University of Bristol Rag.  They've been raising money for UK based Bristol SU for over 90 years, with their naked calendars being one of their most popular fundraisers. 


Yes, I know, there are lot of nude female students featured as well, but for these calendar shots, I think that only adds to their erotic appeal.  There would be an added level of apprehension and nervousness for the club members stripping down, with those of the opposite sex being totally nude as well.  Regardless of sexual orientation, whenever your around the sex that you're attracted to, and you're both naked, issues could always arise...


When going through the images over several years of the calendar, it seems the fencing club was one of the most popular.  It also attracted some of the hottest of Bristol's student bodies.  I loved that the images included both athletics, and the arts.  There are a many naked sports related calendars, but not many include show choirs and horn players.


If none of the clubs above are of interest, you can always just hang out naked in the school's courtyard. All the nudity without the pressure of having to got to practice, win a game or make choir rehearsals.
