2011 Sandwick Family Fun Day

The annual Sandwick Fun Day was on Saturday 6 August, not on Sunday as reported on Radio Shetland! Although grey, damp & windy first thing the wind died away during the afternoon & that strange fiery ball in the sky appeared again - having been missing for some time...

Members of the 2011 South Mainland Up Helly Aa opened the proceedings with a march to the football pitch, a song & then onward to the beer tent.

There was also excellent live music - it really was excellent.

Along with the usual fast food.

And things for the small people to do - like this bungee run - which proved very popular. 

Along with a 'beat the Shetland Inter-county goalie'.

Who did save more than he let in.

Scalloway Summer Fire Festival (Tall Ships 2011, Cruise in Company, Scalloway Fire Festival).

A summer Fire Festival on Monday 18th July at Scalloway - part of the Cruise in Company section of the Tall Ships races 2011. Unfortunately, due to the weather, there were no Tall Ships at Scalloway! The turn out was exceptional however, with an estimated twice as many folk watching the proceedings (at least), compared with the annual January Festival.
