Tarzan and Jane wanted for International Book Launch Update

WE can confirm that Shauna Coxsey has been picked as Jane, but we still need a back up just in case she has a problem, so keep your emails coming. Also, we are still looking for a Tarzan and Tarzan back up. But if you did not read in last week's edition and want to know why we are looking, well we are helping to run the international book launch of the next official Tarzan book. The new book and story are by Andy Briggs and will be marking the 100th Birthday of the first publication of this internationally renowned character. We have had quite a few entries for Tarzan so far, but as of yet none have been what we require, so you still have a chance. Please note that you must not have any tattoos in visible areas! I.e. Chest, back, arms and legs... To find out more about what is required and what it is all about go to our report, which was in last week's issue, by clicking here on   now!

Our Jane, modelled by Shauna Coxsey, is pictured above. If you do not know who she is, she's a local girl and an amazing climber. Well amazing is an understatement as she is in fact the 3rd in the world for female competitive rock climbing!

Southport Weekender 2012

IT is just over a week now since 7,000 music lovers from over 40 countries were heading to the small seaside town of Minehead to celebrate 25 years of groundbreaking sounds at the world's longest running indoor dance and urban music event. Nowhere else is there a line up that boasts so many headline artists or DJs with a crowd wearing so many beautiful smile! Despite everyone's best efforts to free things up so we could get over to this event, things just kept getting in our way and sadly we where unable to attended for the very first time in many, many years... So we are gutted! We can report mind you that we will be heading down if all goes to plan as normal next year, or we will be singing the blues up here! From what we have been told, ever since the first needle dropping to the last chorus singing out, it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish, at this years event. So if you headed over, we would love to see your photos and hear your reports... So email them to us at:- news24@southportreporter.com. Dave and Alex told us after the event:- "It's only been a couple of days since we left the site and we are still exhausted from the biggest event in our history. Whether it was Jill Scott's golden performance, Patrice Rushen reminding us of her musical prowess or Soul II Soul bringing us back to life, the vibes were right at Southport 48. And the good news is that now we've set this world class standard, we'll be doing everything we can to maintain it." So we are even more gutted we could not attended! So if you want to be as gutted as we are, do not forget to register for next years or you could miss out on what will be another fantastic event!
