There is nothing like a Wool Week “Spree” for involving visitors in Shetland life. This week the Shetland Textile Museum handed over £577.50 to the MRI Scanner Appeal from their “Spree” held at the Sound Hall.

A big thank-you goes to the Shetland Weight Training Club which has deposited £430 for the MRI Scanner Appeal – money raised at the door from the Strongest Man competition held in August.

A massive thanks goes to Shaun Simpson from Whalsay who has released a new CD “Oldies but Goldies” which is being sold for #ShetlandMRI.

The MRI Scanner Appeal has passed the half-million pound mark and is now almost one third of the way to reaching the final goal of £1.65m.

Fixing cars and putting them through their MOTs are all in a day’s work for the team at Shetland MOT and Repair (SMR), but now they are also using their mechanical skills to raise money for the MRI Scanner Appeal.
