🇬🇬 Really interesting chat on @BBCGuernsey with @J_Rabey96 this morning. As we know, Guernsey's 2021 games won't go ahead

🏝️ It's after organisers felt it was impossible to commit to the event mid-pandemic - especially with the situation changing around the world. (1)
🏝️ This morning, on breakfast we heard from the chairman of the Guernsey Island Games - he's called Brian Allen (6th from the left)

😥 He called the decision to have to postpone as an "awful one" for everyone involved (2)
🏝️ The multi-sport gathering for small islands across the world was due to be held in the Bailiwick between the 3rd and 9th July

❓Brian Allen says it's been a tough period for all involved - and admitted that he, nor other members see much improving in the next few months
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Big decisions ahead.... Orkney are scheduled to host in 2023.

❓Brian says there could be changes to the hosting schedules for years to come - so where will Guernsey's games slot in - and where will other games go after that?
🏝️ Simple answer- we don't know yet. Members of the Island Games Association are making decisions as we speak.

⏩ BUT, Brian expects a decision to be made on this quite quickly. So expect news shortly - and when I have it, I'll share it with you.
These wonderful photos and memories were taken in Gibraltar last year. A sad, sad announcement but one that's probably for the best.
