In the boys doubles match Matthew & Thorfinn(Glaitness 1) had a very close encounter with Ryan & Scott(Dounby). After much rallying Glaitness 1 clinched the final points to secure the match 15-13.

The teams waited on baited breathe to hear the winner as the points were totalled up – Dounby had gained 3rd spot in a narrowest of wins over Glaitness by just 5 points.

St Andrews team 1 & 2 took to the courts for the last competition of the day. Primary Singles champion Liam Delday overcame Calum Lewis to put St Andrews 1 ahead. However, Samuel Murray(St Andrews 2) replied by levelling the score when he won his singles match. Experience was the key factor in the girls singles matches, as Primary Schools singles winner Aimee Drever & Helen Moar(St Andrews 1) won over their opponents convincingly to take the lead 3-1. St Andrews 2 needed to win both doubles matches to draw. The boys doubles match was beginning to attract spectators as they both produced some fine rallies.

Team mates Aimee & Helen(St Andrews 1) proved too strong for their opponents Fiona & Judith(St Andrews2) winning 15-6 to take the game.

    THE KIRK IN THE GARDEN OF EVIE A Thumbnail Sketch of the History of the Church in Evie Trevor G Hunt Minister of the linked Churches of Evie, Firth and Rendall, Orkney First Published by Evie Kirk Session Evie, Orkney. 1987 Republished 1996 ComPrint, Orkney 908056 Forward to the 1987 Publication This brief history was compiled for the centenary of the present Evie Church building and I am indebted to all who have helped me in this work. I am especially indebted to the Kirk’s present Session Clerk, William Wood of Aikerness, who furnished useful local information, searched through old Session Minutes, and compiled the list of ministers for Appendix 3. Alastair Marwick of Whitemire, Clerk to the Board, supplied a good deal of literature, obtained a copy of the Title Deeds, gained access to the “Kirk aboon the Hill”, and conducted a tour (even across fields in his car) to various sites. He also contributed valuable local information and I am grateful for all his support. Thanks are also due to Margaret Halcro of Lower Crowrar, Rendall, for information about her name sake, and to the Moars of Crook, Rendall, for other Halcro family details. And to Sheila Lyon (Hestwall, Sandwick), who contributed information about Margaret Halcro (of the seventeenth century!). TREVOR G HUNT Finstown Manse March 1987 Foreword to the 1996 Publication Nearly ten years on seemed a good time to make this history available again, and to use the advances in computer technology to improve its appearance and to make one or two minor corrections.. I was also anxious to include the text of the history as a page on the Evie, Firth and Rendall Churches’ Internet site for reference and, since revision was necessary to do this, it was an opportunity to republish in printed form.

  • Orkney Winter Plan 2020/21
    Gillian Morrison (Interim Chief Officer). Orkney Health and Care. 01856873535 extension: 2611. [email protected] Agenda Item: 11. Integration Joint Board Date of Meeting: 10 February 2021. Subject: Orkney Winter Plan 2020/21. 1. Summary 1.1. This is a whole system plan which aims to address the predicted additional pressures of winter across 2020/21 alongside the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Delivery of this plan will require strong leadership and collaborative working across the health and social care system at the most senior level to provide a focus on the additional impacts, challenges and resources required to sustain safe, effective and person centred care. 2. Purpose 2.1. The purpose of this paper is to present the Integration Joint Board with the draft Orkney Winter Plan 2020/21 for consideration and approval. 3. Recommendations The Integration Joint Board is invited to: 3.1. Approve the Orkney Winter Plan 2020/21, attached as Appendix 1 to this report. 4. Background 4.1. NHS Orkney, in common with other health boards, is expected to prepare a Winter Plan, in partnership based on national guidance and from lessons learned the previous year. 4.2. The Winter Plan, attached as Appendix 1 to this report, aims to create a set of conditions which improve resilience by building capability to absorb, respond and recover from disruptive challenges. Winter disruptions can include increased demand and activity due to seasonal flu, respiratory and circulatory illness; increased numbers of falls and trips; and wards closed to admission due to higher levels of norovirus. 4.3. Given the ongoing emergency footing and the COVID-19 pandemic, planning for this winter where there is a high likelihood of concurrent events is critical in ensuring services are best placed to meet the demands which are likely to be placed on them.
