TENDERING for cruise ships and wildlife tours along Guernsey’s southeast coast are two new business areas being introduced by Isle of Sark Shipping, it has announced.

A SARK resident who has raised about £100,000 in the past 50 years for the island’s marine ambulances was presented with a special award yesterday in recognition of her efforts.

SARK’S decision to appoint a senior administrator is the ‘first step’ towards strengthening good governance in the island, the UK minister with responsibility for the Crown Dependencies has said.  

SARK is a step closer to an administration fit for the 21st century after Chief Pleas approved the appointment of a senior administrator, a General Purposes and Advisory Committee member has said.

SARK Estate Management has warned that it will be forced to dismiss more than 100 members of staff if the island does not introduce a Customs post.

A NEW Sark shipping licensing policy should allow more opportunities for tourism in the island, the Office of the Lt-Governor believes.

THE Chinese ambassador to the UK was ‘enthralled’ with Sark and how it operates during his short visit to the island, Conseiller Andrew Bache said.

IT IS the smallest magic society in the world and until last year was a well-kept secret.

BUSINESSES want Chief Pleas to stop treating ‘commerce’ as a dirty word, the UK minister with responsibility for the Crown Dependencies has been told.

GUERNSEY’S head of law enforcement Patrick Rice has been invited to discuss policing issues in Sark.

SARK will be given the space to reform on its own, a member of the General Purposes and Advisory Committee has said.

ARK’S parliament has been left with a clear message to change after the UK minister with responsibility for the Crown Dependencies left counseillers with a list of areas to tackle.
