Birsay, Dounby & Finstown - Wednesday 19 June

It was an interesting day with people coming across to say hello and to have a look at what the car was all about – that’s when is wasn’t raining of course because, like Stromness on Monday, there wee some heavy showers when we were all diving for cover

I only made 3 sales but it would be fair to say folk were interested in the Book and quite a few local shops, hotels and other retail outlets took order forms from and put them up as posters

Next stops are at Deerness Community Centre between 1700 and 1800  on 2 July and St Margaret’s Hope next to Community Centre on 8 July between 1600 and 1800

Look foward to seeing you then-

Despite barely surviving a "fine summer evening in Stromness" with a single piece of dry clothing, Ian Carse enjoyed a few good conversations with locals and tourists alike - covering rugby from Orkney to Georgia and selling a few books in the process!

If you missed out on grabbing a copy of the Anniversary Book in Stromness, Ian is looking forward to the next stage of his Car Book Sale this coming Wednesday 19 June when he will be in Birsay from 1530 until 1630, then Dounby between 1700 and 1800 and finishing off in Finstown between 1815 and 1915.

Orkney eased to a win in the 52nd Orkney Rugby Sevens this afternoon, winning a hard-fought final against Peebles.

The weather was kind to the popular event — a cold wind but the sun was shining  — which attracted a large crowd.

Sixteen sides took to the field on the day — down on the expected 19 — with just two travelling sides — losing finalists Peebles and semi-finalists on their 30th consecutive Orkney Sevens appearance, Grangemouth.

Orkney player of the tournament Stephen MacPhail, Alex Kansour, Matt Jackson and James Linklater saw Orkney retain their title, winning 26-12 to leave the home side and their fans delighted. (Report courtesy of The Orcadian)

The other winners on the day were Orkney Dragons - Women's Trophy; Eastionians - Pail; Auld Bulls - Bowl & Ale Stars - Plate. For a full list of results, visit the Sevens Page

​Saturday 4th May 2019 saw over 110 primary school aged girls and boys playing in the Orkney RFC Rookie and Mini rugby tournaments which was kindly sponsored by Insulation King.

45 Rookies (P1 to P3) made up four teams and they each played 3 matches of tag rugby.  The matches were keenly contested and saw the Greens edging ahead of the Yellows to take the top spot.  Reds came third and Blues were fourth.  The Primary 3 players will have taken part in some Transition Sessions, getting them ready for Mini rugby and from what we have seen today, they will blend in seamlessly.  Each of the 45 participants received a medal, kindly donated by Insulation King.
