The team behind Chimp Magazine have been in touch with How-Do to impart some further details about the title’s launch issue, due out this Saturday.
After not having the time to speak when the original story of Chimp’s arrival ran, Giles Bastow and his associates put together the following release, which, amongst other things, details the fact that the magazine will cost £1.80.
Here’s what they had to say:
The Chimp has been fantastically busy putting together a new magazine for the lovely people of Manchester.
In September 2008 ‘Awards For All’ kindly granted us £10,000 lottery funding in order to produce Chimp Magazine’s launch edition, and henceforth develop a volunteer scheme for those from disadvantaged backgrounds and/or areas.
King of the jungle?
We, like many social enterprises, were eligible to apply for funding as a Company Limited By Guarantee.
Chimp Magazine is an arts, entertainment and social commentary magazine for Manchester and aims to promote the work of charities, community groups and similar organisations.
Above all, Chimp Magazine will be a bloody good read!
Chimp swings into action on February 14th 2009, priced at £1.80 and available in newsagents and alternative outlets. Details to follow soon on the website, www.chimpmagazine.co.uk
We have had an extraordinary level of support for this project and would like to thank everyone involved. From established journalists, comedians and writers, to artists and photographers.
Most of all, we would like to thank everyone who's given up their free time in order to get this off the ground. You know who you are. x.
Chimp is managed by Giles Bastow, Peter Williams and Alex Griffiths.
