Interpretive boards will tell the story of Shetland and the Sea, there will be games for the children, and everyone is invited to bring along any artefact, memorabilia or keepsake relating to the subject for display. The library will be available and we will have a shared afternoon tea. Entry is a gold coin donation and a small plate to share for afternoon tea. The committee look forward to seeing you on the 23rd.
