Aberdeen Calendar

Calendars Galore in Local Shopping Centre
Shoppers in the Aberdeen Bon Accord St Nicholas Shopping Centre won’t be stuck for ideas when it comes to gift buying between now and Christmas, as the Calendar Club makes its annual appearance in the shopping centre, on the first floor of the central atrium, outside Laura Ashley. The Aberdeen Calendar Club will be in the centre until 7 January 2007.

With a range encompassing everything from John Wayne and Johnny Depp to Winnie the Pooh and The Far Side, and with 700 different titles to choose from, the Calendar Club certainly has something for every taste. The stall offers diaries at £2.99, long, slim calendars at £4.99 and large square calendars at £9.99.

“We’ve got some really quirky ones this year, including a Sudoku-a-day one and a Chess-challenge-a-day one, as well as some classics in the humour range, such as extreme ironing and crap cars,” explains stall operator Lorna McLachlan. “Many of our calendars would make ideal gifts for those difficult-to-buy-for Dads; we’ve got everything from golf to cars.”

Now in its seventh year of business, the Aberdeen Calendar Club was officially ranked the UK’s number one retailer of calendars recently. The stall in the Bon Accord St Nicholas shopping centre is one of 200 stalls throughout the UK this year.

Centre manager Frank Sutherland says: “This year’s range of themes from the Calendar Club includes everything from travel to entertainment and looks set to offer something for every taste and budget. Those after a quirky calendar for 2007 should make a bee-line to the stall soon however, to avoid disappointment.”
