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.

Island Medics Series 3 will be broadcast by BBC through the winter with Shetland’s emergency team at the Gilbert Bain Hospital in the limelight once more. For the first time the popular reality show, which focuses on the lives of several NHS Shetland staff, moves out of A&E for some episodes to focus on other parts of the hospital.

Thank-you so much to Zander Simpson, his daughter Rona, and the team at Shetland Maritime Ltd for their donation of £2000!!

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