The NatWest Island Games in the Isle of Wight were a great success!
That's the view of the chairman of the International Island Games Association Jorgen Pettersson, after the week-long event which involved a record of over 4,000 competitors and officials.
There is concern from a number of nations about the cost of travelling to, and staying at, the next gathering, in Bermuda in 2013.
Mr Pettersson says all member islands have a responsibility to support the hosts by raising funds to send as big a team as possible:
FC Isle of Man to host in-form Atherton LR
Hockey: Cup semi-finals await this weekend
Rugby: Douglas' play-off quest to continue against Firwood Waterloo
Football: FA Cup & Woods Cup continue on busy weekend schedule
TT 2026: Ellis & Clement to continue push towards podiums
