TAKE supervisors from B&Q and a glass company, an engineering firm worker and a couple of unemployed men and what have you got?

Nelson's answer to the Full Monty!

Forget Robert Carlyle and Hugo Spear, the owner of JJ's Club Brian Goddard and his regulars will be baring all for Pendleside Hospice at 9pm tonight.

Brian, who will be 50 in March, is a supervisor for B & Q in Nelson and owns the former Jimmy Nelsons' club off Southfield Street with his wife Janet. His step-daughter Tracy Sharp, 19, and her best pal Tia Loving, 17, turned choreographers to teach the lads some dance steps in readiness for their star turn.

Tracy said: "We have a CD of the music from the Full Monty and when they do their final routine it will be to the song You Can Leave Your Hat On.

"It has been hard work trying to get them all together at the same time and they are a little bit stubborn, but they have to get the dances right."

So far Brian has been joined in the routine by Andrew Wiggan, 30, known as Wigwam who works for an engineering firm, unemployed Donny Welsh, 22, a supervisor from Sovereign Glass, Nelson, Mark Bailey, 26 and the mysterious Mr F, who is in his 40s and unemployed and wants to remain anonymous.

Tracy said: "Donny has been sponsored and we will be holding raffles and spot prizes on the night to raise money for charity."

Brian, who is a former soldier, said: "We will be stripping down to our posing pouches because we don't want to offend, we just want everyone to have a good laugh and raise lots of money.

"It takes a lot of courage to agree to do this but we are all mad so it is not a problem! I want to thank all the businesses who have donated items for raffles and a dutch auction."

They will be appearing on the stage at the club and also mingling with the crowd.

In the award-winning British comedy tickets were £10 and the performance was a sell-out. The Nelson strippers are charging £3 a ticket and there are still some available for the club which can hold 200.
