Just had this from someone and thought there might be some FON members who fancied themselves as the next David Hasselhoff or Pamela Anderson (although I preferred Erika Eleniak myself!)

quote:

My name is Jennifer and I’m contacting you from a TV company in London called Rival Media. Here at Rival we are working on a brand new and very exciting lifeguarding TV series, and I was hoping for your help.

The observational documentary series will follow 6 ambitious 16 to 17 year olds being put through their paces at the world’s largest Lifeguarding Programme in California during the summer of 2008. We’re now looking for those lucky 16 to 17 year olds who have stamina and the character to make it through, and who will be available for filming from the 28th of June to the 23rd of August 2008.

In light of this I hoped it might be possible to forward this email and the attached application form around the members of your surf lifesaving club who fit the criteria and might want the opportunity to get involved. It would also be great if you were able to print the attached poster out and display it on your club notice board or post it on your website/newsletter. If you’re unable to print do let me know and I’ll happily send a few over to you in the post.

Please feel free to forward this email amongst any other clubs and committee members who may be interested or able to help with this project.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon and many thanks in advance for your help,

All the best,

Jennifer


See attached file for more details.... Unfortunately I and many others here are too old, but I used to work as a beach lifeguard in North Devon and can tell you t is certainly worth doing. It will get you fit and you'll have a good time doing it too, although I'm sure it must be easier in the warm Californian waters than it is training on a cold wet and rough beach in North Devon in February!
