Do you welcome outsiders?

Hi :oops:

 

My name's Lynnie, and I'm from New Zealand. My grandparents on my dad's side were both from the Mainland. I visited last year and it was quite an education! I edit a newsletter here for the Shetland Society, and stumbled upon your website while I was searching for interesting things to include in it.

 

Anyway, I registered, and here I am.....

Well, if you are looking for interesting things, and the newsletter is going out soon, you could do worse than feature Sakchai Makao, and include a link to the epetition.... just a though :)

 

Hi there

 

I'm a newbie here too, but I reckon you'll be welcome....

 

Whereabouts in Shetland are your grandparents from - you might well find you are speaking to relations... (although don't ask me, I'm useless at that whole family tree thing)

Of course your welcome here, but not as an 'outsider'!!! As an insider.

 

I'm sure you'll find this an excellent online community.

 

As breeksy pointed out, there is one overwhelming issue going on here at the moment, and if you could spread word of the campaign, it would be greatly appreciated in many quarters. You could become the furthest away person to sign the online petition (unashamed plug).

 

Heres a link to the thread

i think shetland is like anywhare else

 

when welcoming new people, if you come in, join in well, take part in life, you will get on well,

 

however if you take over, get a big job with lots of money, start bossing people about or even worse start slagging the place off then your welcome could be very short lived.

 

but i think you could say this about any area in the uk

Hello and welcome to Shetlink Lynnie :D

 

Yes, everyone and anybody is absolutley welcome to join Shetlink! Please feel free to join in on any and or all of the topic threads that are going or even start new ... and if you find an old one of relevant interest to you - do not hesitate to dig it up from the depths.

 

Do pass on details to anyone you think may have an interest in the site - a New Zealand contingent is more than welcome :wink:

 

Take care

 

Shetlink Team
