And Gary Jones will report back that facilities there are excellent.’I visited the majority of the sporting venues over the four days I spent there.
They are first-rate, and others are being improved for the Games.
I think Shetland will put on an excellent NatWest Island Games; the whole community seems committed to making them a success.’Jones also investigated the different options for travelling to and from the Games, and will be making a report to the Island Games Association of Jersey Executive.The different types of accommodation available were also investigated, ranging from business-class hotels to community-based accommodation.
Jones met Games organiser Gary Jakeman and other members of the organising committee, and visited the main Games village at Clickimin, which hosts the swimming, athletics, volleyball, indoor bowls, archery and squash.Other venues are located on a number of the islands, with some of the football venues being more than 80 miles apart.
