Islanders are being urged to support a long established tradition later today (Thursday).
Laa Columb Killey takes place in Arbory in the field opposite the primary school in Ballabeg.
The procession from the Parish Hall to the field starts at 2.30pm before Hampton Oates officially opens proceedings and crowns the festival princess.
But that’s only the start, as event president Noel Cringle explained:
Welbeck owners accept offer from buyer
Family-run hotel to be saved
Area plan inspection 'incompetent and inept'
Tynwald Commissioner for Administration critical of Cabinet Office
Government launches new look website
Chief minister says its the 'first step, not the last'
Plan for seven homes on edge of village
Mixed of two-storey and bunaglows planned
