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:
Ravens back at The Bowl to face AFC Liverpool
Rugby: Douglas face Ramsey in last Manx Cup qualifier
Manx athletes to descend on 2024 London Marathon
Football: Peel and Onchan to meet in Women's FA Cup Final
Higgins earns FC Isle of Man draw at Irlam
Payne & Rousseau prepare for world championship opener
