Are you interested in testing your fitness and agility? Led by a qualified physical trainer, the Island Race will involve a run and the completion of a specially designed obstacle course. And there will be prizes!

Open to all (children under 12 must be accompanied by a responsible adult).

Entry: $20, which includes a hot drink and a cake or savoury product at the Two Catherines Café. (Profits go to the RFS.)

Limited to 20 participants. To register your interest and to find out more, email editor@scotlandisland.org.au. Please provide the names and ages of those interested in participating.

Accommodation wanted: approx July / August 2021

Elvina Bay, Lovett Bay or Scotland Island

We are also interested in a longer-term rental at the end of 2021.

Ideally a studio or cottage or boathouse with bathroom. Preferably on or close to the water.

We are an active retired couple with no pets. We have rented on the island before and are dying to get back there. No wild parties, sadly. We own our home on the south coast but need a year or so of ‘escape’. My husband can handle boats. We are happy to pay in advance.

Please tel Robyn 0435758776 or Phil 0414604748.

FOR SALE: two rowing sculls

For sale: two lightweight timber recreational rowing sculls with sliding seats. Beautiful condition. Sell separately or together. Oars included.

Configured as a racing shell, but with more beam for stability. Fast, easy to row, wonderful exercise and enjoyable. For those on Pittwater, join the Woody Point Scullers for weekend morning tea rows.

Sadly, moving away from water and must sell. Reasonable and best offers. Ring Greg on 0411 489 885

FOR SALE: kayak & child's high chair

For sale:

Child's high chair - $25.00
Two-person kayak in good condition and very buoyant - $100.00.

Both items available for inspection on the weekend in Towlers Bay. Call Suzanne on 0419 240 426.
