A MODEL from Launceston has made it through to the grand final of the UK Calendar Girls competition.

Donna Young who the Post previously reported on when she entered this year’s competition, is now in the top 80 and has made it through to the grand final for 2019.

Donna said: “I’m so happy and overwhelmed. I just want to say thank you to everyone who voted and to all my local pubs and takeaways who put my voting cards out to help me with votes, including the Westgate Inn, the White Hart Hotel, the Coyote Bar, the Newmarket Inn, the Bell Inn, Sun Wah and Lanson Kebabs.”

The grand final will be held on Wednesday, August 28 at Bristol’s largest nightclub, Pryzm.

The doors will open at 7pm and the night usually calms down between 12.30am and 1am, however guests can leave as early as 11pm if needed.

The entire club will be hired as the UK Calendar Girls competition’s for the night.

Donna will be competing against 79 other girls for a spot in the 2020 UK Calendar Girls calendar and to become a published model.
