/From SDT on Facebook:/
The TIDES Project is one of a portfolio of initiatives which is being 
delivered across the Islands Entrepreneurial Network IEN Scot.  It 
focuses on those who are aged 55 plus and interested in exploring new 
ways to do something for themselves - something you may never have had 
the opportunity to do before.  It may be self employment, freelancing or 
setting up a new business.  Perhaps you would like to turn a hobby or 
craft  into a business or apply some of your professional experience to 
help others through coaching or tutoring.  It could also be something 
brand new in which you have no previous experience but feel the time is 
right to try it now. TIDES is about applying an entrepreneurial mindset 
to your ideas at a time in your life when you may be looking to change 
the pace and purpose of your day to day.

Back with hopefully my final question! Mum has left me the four horses

and will be looking to sell the other two.
I need to figure out getting them to mainland Scotland (Aberdeen) but 
it’s proving to be quite a challenge! Any tips please!

Message-ID: <fd3fa284-8a54-40e6-8a13-25f40a318aa9@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

We’re delighted to support the Stronsay Fieldwalking Survey, and 
volunteers are warmly invited to take part!

Continuing the successful work of Naomi Woodward in 2007, Ben Elliott 
from UHI’s Archaeology Institute will be leading three days of 
archaeological survey on Stronsay – 10th, 11th and 12th April.

The survey will involve fieldwalking – the careful searching of ploughed 
fields for archaeological artefacts, which are then systematically 
recorded. The aim is to help document the wider distribution of 
archaeological remains across the Stronsay landscape and identify 
evidence of human activity from different periods of the island’s past.

There are several ways to get involved:
• Join the team walking the fields to help locate artefacts
• Help with sorting and recording finds at the Stronsay Development 
Trust Community Greenhouse

This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to uncovering more of 
Stronsay’s rich history, and no prior experience is required.

If you’d like to volunteer or find out more, please contact Ben Elliott at:

out by a specialist repair ship. BT are currently working with cable 
ship providers to secure an estimated time of arrival. Once that is 
confirmed, repair timescales can be shared, although these will be 
weather dependent.
Further discussions are planned tomorrow and we hope to have a clearer 
picture after that.
Current service impacts:
BT fibre network remains down for around 500 customers
Vodafone Three (Voda3) and Virgin Media O2 (VMO2) mobile networks are 
also down
PSTN landlines and EE mobile services remain operational, although some 
residents have reported capacity issues
Work underway:
BT are exploring the potential deployment of a temporary radio link 
between Westray and Sanday to restore some fibre connectivity
Considering Starlink connections be deployed to help restore 
connectivity at key public sector sites
BT’s Emergency Response Team are expected on Orkney this week to assess 
and implement temporary solutions
.........................................................................................................................
Thank you to everyone who has been sharing updates about service 
availability. These are really helpful and are being fed back to 
Scottish Island Federation and in turn , the government team and to BT.
If you have any queries, please email Shani at stronsaydevelopmenttrust.com.
Please note that I am currently working with limited connectivity, so 
responses may take a little longer than usual.
I will continue to share updates as soon as we receive them.

The Orkney Local Emergency Coordination Group (OLECG) and the Council’s 
Incident Management Team (IMT) met this afternoon to be updated on the 
ongoing loss of broadband services affecting several of Orkney’s North 
Isles communities.
BT has confirmed that the disruption is the result of a subsea cable 
failure between Evie and Westray, which is affecting internet 
connectivity with differing levels of disruption in Eday, North 
Ronaldsay, Papa Westray, Sanday, Stronsay and Westray.
A BT response team is due to arrive in Orkney tonight to support interim 
recovery, with essential services being prioritised. A repair vessel is 
being mobilised and will be travelling to Orkney as soon as possible, 
but timescales are subject to sea conditions.
Council officers have been supporting service providers in their 
engagement with local communities as they explore options for interim 
support measures.
Residents are encouraged to contact their individual mobile and 
broadband service providers for further information or advice specific 
to their service.

/From OIC on Facebook:/
The Orkney Local Emergency Coordination Group (OLECG) met this afternoon 
(Friday 20 March) to receive the latest updates from BT on the ongoing 
broadband outage affecting several North Isles communities.
BT confirmed that its Emergency Response Team is in Westray today, 
working to establish temporary solutions for essential services, 
including Kalisgarth Care Centre and Westray Junior High School. 
Engineers will travel to the other affected islands as soon as they can.
As reported yesterday, BT also advised that a repair vessel is being 
mobilised and will travel to Orkney as soon as possible.
Residents are encouraged to contact their individual mobile and 
broadband providers for information and advice specific to their 
service, as some providers are offering temporary data solutions where 
available.
OLECG partners are ensuring vulnerable residents are supported, and 
anyone with concerns are urged to contact the appropriate organisation.
We recognise that these issues may take several days to fully resolve, 
and OLECG partners will continue to meet, support island residents, and 
work with providers to facilitate the necessary repair works as a matter 
of urgency.

Good morning,

I trust this email finds you well.

My name is Michael Hanratty, I’m the Community Fundraising Officer for 
Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance covering Highlands & Islands. I’ve 
travelled to Orkney this week and I wanted to share some information 
with you.

We will be hosting numerous community awareness events from the 27^th to 
the 29^th March and a few of these are open to the public, I would love 
it if you were able to attend any of these. These events are largely to 
raise awareness of SCAA and our operations in Orkney, we will have 
limited amounts of branded merchandise available at each event.

*Friday 27^th 6pm at Cromarty Hall – St Margaret’s Hope*

*Saturday 28^th 10am till 4pm at (Orkney Harbours Office) Kiln Corner – 
Kirkwall*

*Sunday 29^th 10am at Burray Community Hall – Burray*

*Sunday 29^th 3pm at Deerness Distillery - Deerness*

Orkney is a key operational area for SCAA will over 220 missions taking 
place there in the last six years. We want to interact with as many 
Orcadians as possible to share the story of SCAA and to thank those that 
have raised funds.

I would love it if you at able to make it along to one of these events, 
however the Saturday event in Kirkwall is the first of its kind for SCAA 
and we want this to be as successful as possible, at this event we will 
have a raffle, children’s activities, information stand and a 
merchandise stand with our mascot Nevis hoping  to make an appearance.

All of these events are free and the Kirkwall event is a drop in event.

If you are unable to join us, could I ask you to share this information 
with people within your community.

Thank you so much for your time and for supporting Scotland’s Charity 
Air Ambulance.

Warmest regards,

Michael

/From Viv Erdman:/

We are clearing out our loft and have found two large boxes of 
Scalextric track and cars. Does anybody play with Scalextric any more?
It was working when it went up there, our kids used to make tracks 
around the freezer room in the shop.
If anyone wants it, please ring or message, or just call round, 
otherwise we will take it to the dump.
I hate throwing things out if somebody could use it.
Also, we have more demijohns than we are ever going to use.
Again, take them away if you want them.
Viv

Message-ID: <0ee5e7ba-95c6-405a-a76b-519b15430aaf@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

/From Stronsay Development Trust on Facebook:/

Following an update, this week is when the cable repair ship is due out 
to Orkney. Latest update from BT is that the cable repair ship should be 
in Orkney this week, which if all goes to plan and the weather 
cooperates, should see the cable repaired and services restored by 
mid-April.
The cable repair itself involves disturbing the seabed in protected 
marine areas and therefore requires exemptions. These requests have all 
been approved so the weather is the only unpredictable thing at play. We 
will be kept posted on progress through this week.
In the meantime, quite a lot of work has been done to reconnect key 
public sector sites in particular, using 4G/Starlink hubs. Good progress 
made and hopefully you’re seeing evidence of that on the ground.
VMO2 have confirmed that they have completed work to bring back all 
three of their mobile mast sites on Westray, Sanday and North Ronaldsay, 
utilising Starlink as backhaul. That should hopefully mean that 4G and 
other mobile services are more reliable than they were immediately after 
the break.

If anyone is in need of a dog groomer,Bonniedog grooming Mobile Service 
is proposing to come out with her van on 28th July if enough firm 
bookings can be made to make it worth the journey. She will base her van 
on our drive at Harbour House for the day. She's done a smashing job on 
our two, and I know they would appreciate not having to do the ferry 
ride
