Tribewanted: Vorovoro

No Wills & Kate haven”t joined the tribe (yet) but this week we were honoured when John Lawler and fiance, Elaine Cupples became tribe members 386 and 387. Not just any old pair of “Hunters”, John and Elaine are our first Royal tribe members and are planning to come to Vorovoro for their honeymoon! In 1998 John was “enstooled” (crowned) Chief Torgbui Mottey I by the residents of Shia, a village in eastern Ghana, in recognition of his work to help build a local secondary school. John is returning to Ghana this July with his bride, Elaine, who will be welcomed into the community at a special ceremony that will see her crowned Queen! Bengazi tracked the royal couple down in Newcastle to find out why they”ve chosen to join tribewanted for their honeymoon:
“After all the fun and ceremonies in Ghana we thought it would be a good idea to try and keep the tribal experience going. We”re joining tribewanted so we can have a honeymoon as well as a wedding to remember. Its going to be amazing to experience the different ways in which Ghanaians and Fijians celebrate marriage! We can”t wait to go mad with with tribe!”

Royal blush: John and Elaine head to Vorovoro, via Ghana!

Beach-tribe Life

OK, so the Kooks haven”t confirmed their headline set just yet but this weekend sees Tribewanted hit the beach to start preparing its members for 3 years of island life that begin in just over 3 months time. And what better place to practise island life, and all its tropical challenges, than on the North Coast of windswept Devon, England! So if you”re in the South West this weekend fill the car with friends, frisbees and flippers and head for Woolocombe Bay for a day of tribal beach games and galavanting. For serious training there are good campsites in the area. If you and your friends can make it drop us a line on the beach link of the forum.

If not, no worries – organise your own beach-tribe event on some sand near you. Let the sandcastle competitions commence!

• Where: Woolocombe Bay, North Devon, England
• When: from midday on Saturday 20th May
• Who: For lovers of sand, sunshine, sandcastles, surf and 99ers
