The Vet Support Group, here on the islands, has just launched a great new calendar for 2011. Featuring photographs of some of the islands animals the funds that it will raise will all go to ensure that our islands vet, Heike Dorn, is able to stay here on Scilly. You can order your copy of this great calendar by going to http://www.vetsupportgroup.co.uk/fundraising_membership.html
It has been a great weekend here on the islands as we have had Tom Henderson OBE, the founder of the charity SHELTERBOX, giving a couple of talks about how he conceived the idea and set up the charity. Tom and his wife Jayne gave 2 really interesting talks, Saturday evening on Bryher in the Community Centre and Sunday in the Town Hall on St Mary’s. Both were good evenings and enjoyed by all those who attended. Thanks to Kathy on Bryher for all here help, Chris & Di Peat for working really hard to put the tent up on Bryher and thanks to Richard and John for all their help on St Mary’s.
