Paul McCartney at Hey Festival - Wednesday 30th May 2001


Is there any limit to how far and how famous ONTHESPOT will go for getting exclusive pictures on this site.  This time was a four hour journey to the Hey Festival where Paul McCartney read poetry.  Above is Heather Mills and pictured left is Liverpool poet Adrian Mitchell

Ainsdale Visitor centre - Wednesday 30th May 2001


Behind Pontins is the Ainsdale visitor centre in the old lido buildings.  The building has been renovated by the Council and is open to the public.  Inside the centre you will meet the lovely Pauline who has a fantastic knowledge of our coastline, not to mention a wonderful collection of items she has picked up off the beach. Well worth a visit and they even have info about southport.gb.com in there!!

Thanks ROVING-EYE

Ronnie Fearn & John Pugh visit Guardian Court - Tuesday 29th May 2001
Welcome to ROVING-EYE, another intrepid photographic volunteer for the site.  These pictures were taken at Guardian Court where Ronnie Fearn and John Pugh had a Q&A session with the residents.

ROVING-EYE is certainly popular at Guardian Court. After bringing his pics to us, we made him a CD of all the pics he took, which he showed to staff and residents back at Guardian Court.  They also have a PC connected to the internet so they can also check out the pics online.  Nice one ROVING-EYE.
