"We're going to the fank"

Keen bloggerati will have been following the preparations for the Ness dating festival, as reported on . Here on Berneray (population 129), our usual ferry on the Sound of Harris crossing (the Loch Portain) has been sent to Gugurock for a refit in time for the event.

We anticipate sailing up the west coast of Harris and Lewis, stopping off at Taransay to pick up any other delegates outwith the reach of the Hebridean Coaches route network. Members of Berneray boat club will be navigating. A committee bringing together members of the Community Council, Development Group, Historical Society, Youth Club, Evergreens group, Community Association and all the other (population 129) has been formed to decide, in Ark fashion, who shall enter the Loch Portain and who will be left behind.

Festival organisers: what should we bring? We don't have a supply of Guga down here in the balmy tropics of North Uist, and are at a loss as to what offerings to bring to the event.

Bring a wicker man. Because if any people outside the Western Isles or any strangers go to the festival we would have to burn them inside the wicker man. Because Ness is a local place for local people, we dont want any trouble round here!!!!

You've caught me on a bad day. It is the Ness Communions till Sunday and I'm a whipper in pitchforking reluctant attendees down to the church at Cross. I shall read up on the Ark in the back pue today and report back. What is the Evergreens Group - we have an Ever Yellow Group here in Ness which is made up of devout cowards and victims of jaundice in more or less equal numbers. I'm pleased that your ferry in getting its medical at Gugarock and I hope you have it back soon. I'll try and sort a reply as to what to bring by the end of the day. If the ferry isn't ready in time Sunny and friends have offered to knit you a replacement - she has a pattern.

How exciting DS - and what a lovely word bloggerati is. Sounds as if we're the bloggers with bling. (Well Chrissie Mary has a very jaunty hatpin for special occasions.) Calumannabel and Donald are in charge so they'll probably tell you what to bring. Think they're seeing to all the stationery requisites though. Calum might be interested to hear that you're from the balmy tropics. He seems to be developing some special lip salve for the fank so any tips on the Berneray Balm might be good. P.S. there aren't many trees in Ness so any Evergreens might end up talking to themselves or lined up to form a permanent windbreak. Might be best to leave them behind. P.P.S. How many of the 129 are serviceable boddach singletons?

Plentiful supply of pickled eggs. 44 gallon drum of Marmite 8 gallons of Sillit Bang with supply of Indian Tonic Water. A gross of sick bags - take them from the ferry. 4 sacks oatmeal 3 boxes safety matches 12 dozen nappy pins 6 paperclips 36 Metro Pens 1 Carnation any colour not tinned 1 Oor Wullie annual Bring these with you and we'll recognise you coming off the ferry or the longboat.
