Tresco & Bryher Primary School children brightened up the island the other day when they toured Tresco selling cakes in order to raise funds for charity. Their chosen cause, International Animal Rescue, works to help save orang-utans in Indonesian Borneo from endangerment.

This year’s Tresco triathlon is scheduled to take place on the 30th of June. It’s good to have set the date early to give people plenty of time to get training and also catch those who are still running or biking after having set themselves the classic ‘get fit’ New Year’s resolution. The great thing [...]
