EM Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Sounds very promising. Any idea whether they are now interested in the event running in a few months time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scallywag Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I am sure that this would be the last thing on their minds after all they have been through in the last week and a bit. They still have a ill little boy to look after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Absolutely so. To be clear, I'm coming from an optimistic positive point of view. Assuming steady recovery it might just be what they will want. If so, better to celebrate a tangible recovery of a son than just the return of the sun. Early days of course, but looking to the bright side seems better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scallywag Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 The Fire Festival has been cancelled end of story and will go ahead next year. This decision was reached at a meeting of the Scalloway Fire Festival Comittee on 3rd January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man of kent Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Three cheers for the guizer jarl and fire Festival Committee of Scalloway, the right decision, i'd have done the same, I hope your bairn gets better real soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Have to agree, I think the Jarl Squad deserve praise for supporting their Jarl and the Fire Festival Commitee likewise for making the right decision. Best of all it sounds like peerie Charlie is on the med although I am sure it will be a while afore him or his parents will be thinking about burning galleys. If there is any sense Pottsy will have his day next year when hopefully everyone in the community will be in the mood for a spree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GypsyScy Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 One of the bairns that travelled from Ireland to be in this years Jarl Squad has lost his helmet, his name "Illan Callaghan" should be inside it. He's just 5 and says he thinks he left it on the bus but his Mam thinks he could have left it anywhere on the nights travels. They are in the process of contacting people and halls but if any Shetlinkers could help it would be appreciated.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
