Who says Alderney's streets aren't paved with gold?
Or copper-plated steel at the very least.
Last weekend saw fund-raisers campaigning for a safe and modernised play park stage their first fund-raising event - the Money Mile. The challenge saw participants lay a line of coins stretching 200 metres from Rea's Bistro, raising an impressive £606.90.
Butes Play Park Community Project leader Rebecca Bohan said: "The Money Mile went extremely well - the rain held off and lots of people turned up, including town crier Robin Whicker who opened the event, Keely Mark doing face painting and Super Ted (Michael Bohan) adding to the fun. Our helpers, Lisa Oates, Annabelle Tate, Jennifer Bohan, Marge Bohan, Dougal Bohan, Lillian Farmer and Chris Johns, were fantastic, along with Rod Paris who lent us a lot of equipment for the event. I'd like to say thanks to everyone, including our sponsors Hamon Architects and Highland Titles, for helping to make the afternoon such a success."

Tue 21st July 2026 Free entry, retiring collection for ABO. Pete Ellis escaped office life in 2000 to take up a life in the outdoors. Soon becoming an International Mountain Leader, he led trekking holidays in the UK, Europe and further afield for the next 20 years. During this time, he also indulged his passion for climbing mountains, which included, in 2012, Mount Everest. This completed the Seven Continental Summits (the highest points of all seven continents), an achievement accomplished by a select group of about 400 people.
This talk is about the final, Everest, stage of The Seven Summits. The climb was from the north, through Tibet, the route originally visited by Mallory and Irvine in the 1920s. It will be a personal tale of the trip, illustrated with many photographs.
