Old Town on St Mary’s came off worst after the islands were hit by 70mph winds this week.
The huge waves that battered the south coasts of Scilly caused flooding in Old Town, damaged part of the wall at Porthcressa and caused large sand drifts on the beaches.
Emergency meetings were called to deal with the flooding.
The storm was described by Harbourmaster Jeff Penhaligon as “the worst for 30 years.”
Julian Wright has been named the Cox of the Year at the Annual Gig Dinner.
It was announced that the cox of the Bonnet ladies crew had been given the award last Saturday.
Over 100 islanders turned up to the evening at the Old Town Inn.
A young man on St Martins has been nominated for a Radio 4 Food and Farming Award.
Adams Fish and Chips has been nominated in the Best Takeaway section. It’s run by islander Adam Morten. People are invited to write in and recommend excellent retailers.
St Martins is no stranger to such awards. The bakery won a similar award in a different category two years ago.
The winners will be announced in November.
Artwork by a former Tresco resident is going on display on the bone marrow transplant unit at the Royal Marsden Hospital.
Kathy Todd, who now lives in Penzance, has sold sixteen paintings to the hospital. It is hoped that the art will improve the environment for patients.
Kathy lived on Tresco for 12 years and still exhibits work at the Gallery Tresco. The paintings were chosen because of the spiritual quality about them.
Numbers of wild cats on the islands are set to drop when workers from the Truro and District Cats Protection group make a visit to Scilly.
The campaigners are working with the local vet to neuter and spey feral cats.
The operation will take place on several of the islands where the animals will be caught and then neutered on St Mary’s before returning home again.
