Guernsey athletes will stay on board a cruise liner during the games

The event is being held in the Shetland Islands next July.

Bookings have been made for the team and the focus now is fundraising. Each sport has to raise money for athletes to travel to the competition.

Dave Dorey, chairman of the Guernsey Island Games Association, says he is delighted with the number of people taking part.

Mr Dorey says he was impressed with the standard of the sports facilities on a recent visit to Shetland.
