East Cowes Victoria Vics are trying to raise funds for East Cowes Victoria AFC and The Island Young Careers by attempting to break the current Guinness World Record for the longest football match! Sponsors for the event are being sought or anyone who can donate prizes for the raffle etc.
A lifeline is being offered to small community and voluntary groups on the Island, with funding being made available to help them survive in the current economic climate.
Congratulations to Gert Bach and his team at Hillside Ventnor, which has been voted second best Hotel in the UK by TripAdvisor Critics. The hotel has an excellent restaurant which is also open to non-guests. Well worth checking out.
