*_CHURCH PLANT SALE_*
After a gap last year due to technical issues,( the polytunnel blew 
down), the plant sale will return this year.
Mike has worked hard putting up a polycrub, which won't blow down, and 
everything in it is looking good. It has been an early, mild spring this 
year so the plants are doing really well.
I have started moving things outside to harden off and they are all 
coping well.
Hopefully, the sale will be on Saturday 24th May, at Morvens yard, which 
is the plot of land behind the hotel, where I keep my hens and have the 
polycrub. There is parking nearby, and it saves me having to move plants!
If anyone with a greenhouse, or similar, wants tomato, cucumber, 
courgette or herb plants before that date, let me know.
I have all the usual bedding plants and am happy to take orders if 
anyone can't make that day. I will give more details of opening times 
etc. nearer the time
See you there
Viv

Just to make all customers aware, that due to this afternoon’s boat

This includes Rendall’s and Westray bread, fruit and veg & Crantit milk

Any customer deliveries will now be made on Friday to accommodate this 
but may be later in the day once we’ve tackled the backlog.

Subject: [Stronsaylimpet] Screen Machine - good news
Message-ID: <9c57e575-5020-46f2-aa4f-f112c639accf@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

*From the Screen Machine:*

We're delighted to share the following press release from the Scottish 
Government, issued today Friday 9 May 2025.

*Major boost for mobile cinema*
£500,000 funding to Screen Machine.

Funding has been announced enabling an order to be placed for a new 
Screen Machine mobile cinema serving rural communities across Scotland.

The £500,000 Scottish Government grant allows Regional Screen Scotland 
(RSS) to order a new vehicle to take films to 44 locations in areas 
including the Highlands and Islands, Moray and North Ayrshire.

After the previous 80-seat vehicle was retired in 2023 following 18 
years and 250,000 miles on the road, RSS started fundraising for a 
permanent replacement costing £1.7 million. A leased vehicle is 
currently continuing the service until April 2026.

The new machine will be energy efficient with the ability to charge via 
solar panels and battery packs, instead of a diesel generator.

Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes said:

/“The Screen Machine service is a hugely important asset, bringing 
cinema to the doorsteps of people in many rural and island communities./

/“It has proved its worth over 26 years, providing entertainment that 
town and city residents take for granted. In doing so it enriches 
people’s lives and plays a part in tackling rural depopulation./

/“This grant allows Regional Screen Scotland to order a new, bespoke 
vehicle able to use Scotland’s ferry network and negotiate our rural 
roads. I wish the organisation well as it continues efforts to reach its 
fundraising target.”/

Regional Screen Scotland interim Chief Executive Simon Drysdale said:

/"This generous grant from the Scottish Government completely transforms 
our fundraising campaign to raise the money required to build a new 
Screen Machine. We can now plan with greater confidence for a service 
that will be secured into the 2040s./

/“Heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported our campaign so far, 
from Screen Scotland to the Arran Trust, customers of the Newtonmore 
Grill, letter-writing children in Barra and many, many more.”/

*Background*

The grant for the Screen Machine comes from the Scottish Government’s 
Gaelic Capital Fund, which supports developments of benefit to 
Gaelic-speaking communities.

Regional Screen Scotland launched its public fundraising campaign 
<https://screenmachine.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=481366d61828cfc0003c856c2&id=1ab7597baf&e=5e77b5da1b> 
in September 2024. Energy firm SSEN Transmission has already announced 
it will give £350,000 from its Regional Community Benefit Fund.  Further 
support has come from actors Alan Cumming and Dame Judi Dench and 
fundraising continues.

Around 180,000 tickets have been sold in Highland, Argyll & Bute, 
Western Isles, Moray, North Ayrshire, Aberdeenshire and Orkney over the 
last 10 years. In 2024-25 the service showed 51 films at 450 screenings 
at which it employed a total of 57 local ushers.

ENDS


This is the amazing news we've been campaigning over 18 months for and 
we could not have achieved this without the support so many of you have 
shown. Our deepest thanks to everyone who took the time to write to 
their elected representatives, donated to the campaign and given support 
in many other ways.

This very generous contribution from the Scottish Government allows us 
to place an order for a new mobile cinema. But as Deputy First Minister 
Kate Forbes points out, our fundraising campaign is still ongoing as we 
need to bring in the balance. Please consider donating or sharing our 
message to help us get over the line.

We will provide a more detailed update soon, but for now we wanted to 
share this wonderful news and thank you for your ongoing support. 'Mon 
the Machine!

Wishing you all the best,

The Screen Machine Team

rectify their mistake, however until then, our service has been cut off.
This will affect any and all prepayment gas and electric keys, I'm so sorry!

Improving the Cancer Journey (ICJ) Service

NHS Orkney

If you or someone you know has been affected by cancer, Improving the 
Cancer Journey is here to help. Improving the Cancer Journey, in 
partnership with Macmillan, is a dedicated service to support anyone 
affected by cancer with their non-clinical needs. This could be the 
person with the cancer diagnosis, or it could be someone affected by 
that diagnosis, such as family or carers.

When someone is diagnosed with cancer, they often describe feeling like 
they’re in a maze. It can be difficult to know what services are out 
there and where to access them. The Improving the Cancer Journey Service 
is here to support with this, and help people to access the services 
that can support with their non-clinical concerns.

Non-clinical concerns may include:

·Supporting someone to access local teams that can help with money or 
housing worries and benefits

·Addressing caring or work responsibilities

·Connecting with those that can support with addressing physical concerns

·Accessing complimentary therapies

·Helping with emotional concerns, connecting with wellbeing support and 
services

·Accessing information to answer questions or concerns about cancer and 
treatment

When someone affected by cancer accesses the ICJ service, they will be 
offered a Holistic Needs Assessment, which is a simple check-list style 
questionnaire that helps to understand what means most to the person. 
The key areas addressed within a Holistic Needs Assessment are 
financial, practical, physical, emotional and spiritual.

Based on this assessment and meaningful conversations with an ICJ Link 
Worker, a support plan will be created to ensure the person affected by 
cancer is offered all the support they need.

Patients can be referred into the service through a self-referral form 
or via a professional referral. Both referral forms, alongside further 
information, can be found on the ICJ page of the NHS Orkney website - 
Improving the Cancer Journey (ICJ) | NHS Orkney 
<https://www.ohb.scot.nhs.uk/improving-cancer-journey-icj>.

The referral forms can be filled in online and sent to the ICJ email 
address – ork.icj at nhs.scot <mailto:ork.icj at nhs.scot>.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the ICJ 
service, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We are happy to support 
in any way we can.

Email: ork.icj at nhs.scot <mailto:ork.icj at nhs.scot>

CHURCH PLANT SALE

Plans have changed again!
It has been such a good spring and early summer that the bedding plants 
are starting to flower and really need to be planted out. They have all 
been outside for a while now and are hardened off.
People are welcome to call to buy plants anytime. They are in the garden 
behind the pub. I am quite busy this week, but if my bike is there, then 
I am.
Bedding plants are £3.50 for a tray of nine plants.(£5.99 in Kirkwall),
Ring me on 616207 or just call in,
Viv

All windows MUST be closed before you leave the premises. Twice this

I have turned of all the heaters just now as the building does get hot

Message-ID: <8e839746-f590-4e3a-adca-c2be8bad73d6@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

 From Northvet  on Facebook:
🚨 Nematodirus Warning for Orkney Farmers 🚨
Heads up to all sheep farmers across Orkney — conditions are now ideal 
for a Nematodirus outbreak. With the recent rise in temperatures 
following a cool spell, hatching is likely to occur rapidly, putting 
lambs aged 6–12 weeks at high risk of infection.
🔍 What to watch for:
Sudden onset of scouring (diarrhoea)
Lethargy or poor appetite
Unexpected deaths in young lambs
🐛 Speak to us about faecal egg counts and treatment options. Early 
intervention is key — many cases are fatal if left untreated.
🧐 Be extra vigilant before clinical signs appear, especially if your 
flock has a history of nematodirosis.
📍 Orkney conditions are matching high-risk patterns reported elsewhere 
in Scotland, so stay alert.
Please share with other local farmers to help prevent losses this season. 🐑

Message-ID: <ebdbca99-a309-49b1-b54b-6b3ccb3c142c@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

/From Naomi Bremner on Stronsay's Facebook page:/
On Saturday, our league team travelled in to take part in the Peedie 
Schools Tournament – playing against teams from across all three league 
levels. The girls played some of their best netball of the season, with 
brilliant teamwork and determination throughout. After an early start 
(and maybe a late night the night before for some of the team!!) and the 
hours on the ferry, the heavy legs started to show by the end – but the 
spirit never faded!
It was also an emotional day as we said goodbye to Freya, playing her 
final matches before moving up to secondary. The team gave her a good 
send-off – carrying her off the court after her final game. We’ll miss 
you, Freya!
Then on Sunday, it was back to Kirkwall and it was the P4/5 team’s turn 
– and what a day they had! Charlie and Ruaridh took on their first full 
programme of competitive matches, joining teammates Ula, Hannah and 
Eilidh (returning for a second day of play).
And wow – they clicked straight away, going undefeated through their six 
league-phase matches with a great goal tally and some remarkable long 
distance goals!
In the quarter-finals, they faced Firth Vikings and after a nail-biting 
2-2 draw at half time and no goals in the second half due to the tight 
defending by both teams, it came down to earlier goal tallies – and 
Stronsay were through to the semis!
Next up: Stromness. It was a tight game, but tired legs acted against 
us. Stromness took the win and headed to the final, while Stronsay made 
a sprint finish for the boat!
Massive well done to all the players (and support crew!) – your teamwork 
and energy were incredible.
Thanks also to Shae and Freya for scoring today, and to Arya and Martha 
for stepping up with umpiring duties over the weekend. A brilliant 
weekend all round, and that’s Fun5z 2024/25 season done! ✔️

STRONSAY COMMUNITY COUNCIL

Chair: Louise McQuaidVice Chair: Damian Stout

*_NORDIC SEA SUMMER 2025 TIMETABLE_*

*_PUBLIC CONSULTATION_*

In response to the question raised as to why there were no Nordic Sea 
sailings scheduled for Stronsay on Tuesdays and Thursday during the 
Nordic Sea Summer 2025 timetable, Orkney Ferries has reviewed the Outer 
North Isles timetable and will put in a Stronsay run on Thursdays and 
will leave Tuesday as a Eday and Sanday service given that Stronsay has 
their own vessel on a Tuesday morning, arriving in town only 30 minutes 
after the Nordic Sea arrives.

Orkney Ferries will use this summer period to monitor passenger numbers, 
and that may shape how they allocate this additional service in the future.

Stronsay residents are asked to comment on the revised timetable, copy 
attached, but in the meantime Tuesday and Thursday bookings have been 
blocked off, awaiting your response. Please forward these to the Island 
Link Officer at stronsaycc at gmail.com <mailto:stronsaycc at gmail.com>or 
telephone 616446.

Comments must be made *_by 5pm on Sunday 25 May 2025_*.

Thank you,

Colin McAlpine

Stronsay Island Link Officer/Clerk

Over a number of years, we’ve been engaging with Scottish Government to 
tackle the challenge of replacing our ageing ferry fleet, looking at how 
the Government might support us in our replacement plans
In November 2023 – through the Ferries Taskforce - the Scottish 
Government made funding available to the Council to build an agreed 
business case for ferry replacement ⛴🔨

Message-ID: <29ab5a34-b104-4739-877f-f3a85619252c@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

/From NHS Orkney on Facebook:/
//
*MRI arrives in Orkney! *
The NHS Orkney MRI scanner is due to arrive at The Balfour tomorrow, 
Saturday 24 May.
Until March of this year, NHS Orkney was part of the national North of 
Scotland programme which saw a visiting MRI scanner on site regularly, 
this reduced travel and waiting times for MRI scanning, particularly in 
remote and rural areas. After reviewing the way the MRI service would be 
delivered when the regional funding finished, NHS Orkney successfully 
secured a bid to trial a full time scanner at The Balfour until the end 
of March 2026. Over the next year, there will be an ongoing evaluation 
of this service model.
NHS Orkney will work with Compleo to provide the service on site. This 
scanner is a relocatable unit, rather than the trailer which was used 
for the visiting service. The scanner will be at The Balfour permanently 
until March 2026.
Please see below timeline of what will happen once the scanner arrives:
🔵 Saturday 24 May – the scanner will arrive in Orkney and be connected 
to The Balfour power and networks
🔵 Tuesday 27 May – as the scanner is powered down for transport, the 
manufacturer, Philips, will be arriving on site to power up the scanner 
and perform any planned maintenance on the scanner prior to commencing 
scanning
🔵 Monday 2 June to Friday 6 June – training will begin for the team and 
testing of the scanner, scanning will then begin for the first patients, 
but initially in small numbers
The service will commence fully after the testing and training is 
complete. As a reminder, some patients will still need to travel to 
Aberdeen for scans due to the type and complexity of the scan or the 
support required around the scan.

SCREEN MACHINE: Monthly Newsletter 29/05/25 Read the latest from Screen 
Machine.

<https://screenmachine.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=481366d61828cfc0003c856c2&id=ef4adf0d2a&e=5e77b5da1b> 


*Fundraising campaign enters new phase *
*Help us reach the finishing line!*

Earlier this month we announced the incredible news that the Scottish 
Government has contributed £500,000 to the Save Our Screen Machine 
campaign (read their press release here 
<https://screenmachine.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=481366d61828cfc0003c856c2&id=781bf565e6&e=5e77b5da1b>). 
This could not have been possible without all the letters of support so 
many of you wrote back in 2023 to bring our situation to the attention 
of your elected representatives. We express our deepest thanks to 
everyone who took the time to write to them.

Our campaign now moves into a new phase. Combining this government money 
with other pledges and donations (including the approximate £50,000 from 
the public) raised so far, we have been able to place an order for the 
construction of a new mobile cinema.

While this is a significant step in our campaign, *we must stress that 
we have not reached the finishing line*. Some of the pledges stipulate 
that we must raise the remaining balance by the end of 2025 or we will 
not be awarded the funds. We are still £450,000 short of the total £1.7 
million cost, and we will now focus on raising this remaining balance 
over the next six months.

Simon Drysdale, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Regional Screen 
Scotland, said:

/“Our fundraising has had some fantastic boosts in recent weeks, but 
there is still much to be done. We are writing applications to many 
large Trusts and Foundations, who we hope will donate significant funds. 
Our customers and supporters continue to donate every day, through 
adding a little to their ticket purchases, putting cash in our donations 
bucket or supporting our Crowdfunder campaign. We urge our customers and 
supporters to keep giving to help us close the funding gap and reach our 
target.”/

*Donate now!*
*Or add a donation to your ticket*

A reminder our Crowdfunder is still active, and you can donate by 
clicking the link below. Alternatively, you can add a £1 or £5 donation 
when you book your tickets.

We appreciate all donations to our cause, whether they're big or small. 
Thank you for all your support so far.

*Programme*
*Learn about the latest films*

Tom Cruise in /Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning/. Copyright: 
Paramount

Three big releases will be joining our programme from Oban onwards. 
Click on a film's title to watch its trailer.

Perhaps the biggest addition is /*Mission: Impossible - The Final 
Reckoning*/ 
<https://screenmachine.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=481366d61828cfc0003c856c2&id=731f8d4315&e=5e77b5da1b>, 
the eighth entry in the phenomenal spy action series. Following on from 
/*Dead Reckoning*/, Ethan Hunt and the IMF team continue to hunt the 
assassin Gabriel, who is working for the sentient rogue AI called the 
Entity, which threatens world peace. Hang onto your armrests as Hunt 
risks his life again and again to stop it at all costs.

Harriet, our Development Coordinator and big */Mission: Impossible/* 
fan, saw it at the weekend and wanted to share her thoughts on the film:

/'Not only the sequel to 2023’s Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, 
Final Reckoning also marks the culmination of Tom Cruise’s eight film, 
thirty years journey as producer and star. If you love the Mission 
films, you’ll love this latest offer, and if you’ve never seen one, 
don’t worry, the history of the series is woven into the exposition and 
plot so that the high stakes are never in doubt. Mission: Impossible 
films are what cinema is for: the joy of a big screen, breathless thrill 
ride, set pieces and stunts carried out by real people, in epic 
locations, keeping you on the edge of your seat until you can heave a 
sigh of relief.'/

If you'd prefer something at a slightly slower pace, you can watch the 
biographical drama */The Salt Path/* 
<https://screenmachine.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=481366d61828cfc0003c856c2&id=a13f8e1da5&e=5e77b5da1b> 
starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs. Based on the memoir of the 
same name, they star as Raynor and Moth Winn, who simultaneously receive 
a significant medical diagnosis and lose their family home. With pennies 
in their pockets and nowhere to go, they start walking the South West 
Coast Path, a 630-mile uninterrupted path around southwestern England. 
Struggling initially, they soon discover that home is anywhere so long 
as they have each other.

And for our younger audience, we'll be showing */Lilo & Stitch/* 
<https://screenmachine.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=481366d61828cfc0003c856c2&id=39d17a1791&e=5e77b5da1b>, 
the live-action/CGI remake of Disney's animated original from 2002. 
Six-year-old Lilo finds a friend in her new blue 'dog' she names Stitch. 
But Stitch is an illegal alien experiment designed to cause chaos and 
mayhem, and is being hunted by both human and alien agents. As his bond 
with Lilo grows, Stitch starts to reconsider his destructive behaviour. 
Funny and silly, it's a heartwarming tale about friendship and family.

then you can also watch previous entires */Rogue Nation/*

Continuing the Tom Cruise theme, you can watch this sequel to 1986's

Woody, Buzz, and the gang are adjusting to life with their new kid, 
Bonnie, who introduces them to Forky. Believing he is nothing but 
‘trash’, Forky rejects his role as a toy, and Woody takes it upon 
himself to change his mind.

EBENEZER STORES: We have a working electricity and gas key card machine 
again!!
Ross has been working hard behind the scenes to get the machine fixed 
for you and he's managed to put together a temporary solution until the 
fibre optic cables and new routers are installed. So please, don't worry 
anymore about having to find alternate ways, or going over to mainland, 
you can once again come to Ebenezer and get your electricity and gas 
topped up using the key machine, exactly the same as you always have. 
We're very sorry for the time it's taken and the inconvenience it's 
caused you all, but thanks to Ross' determination we are back up and 
running ♡
