I'm touching on a subject (again) that crops up quite often in my News Blogs.

I've commented before on how we have all met islanders who complain that there's not much to do in Guernsey. This moaning never gets much sympathy or attention from me.

You see, I know different. One of the most interesting aspects of my Guernsey Press photography is that I get sent along to so many varied events.... Sports, the Arts, Community Groups, Social Clubs, Shows and Exhibitions, Open Days.... the list goes on! If the moaners just made an effort they would find that there are many, many opportunities to get involved in local life.

One such event was held on Sunday at Les Beaucamps High School. The 'Lets Dance' day returned for a second year offering islanders 'taster' sessions featuring nine forms of dance for anyone to learn about. Then there was a chance to enjoy a short time trying to master some simple moves.

Whilst I was there it was the turn of the Kathak dancing from Northern India. The colourful dancers shared their love of dance with a mixed group of people. It looked like great fun!

I spent a pleasant Sunday afternoon chasing the competitors riding in the Guernsey Motorcycle & Car Club Trials meeting over 'The West' sections.

These included tricky unforgiving beach routes over boulders and slippery climbs through wooded areas.

I was also given a tip-off that there were new Sections up near the Motocross track... so of course I had to have a look!

But, photographically, these didn't offer very much for me. However I did get some good shots on the beach and slopes.

When I opened my front door early on Sunday morning my instinct was to go straight back to bed.

You see, the thick fog that lay across the fields triggered a feeling of déjà vu. I was on my way to photograph a Guernsey Velo Club Road Race on their Reservoir circuit but I could recall this race being called off before due to fog and poor visibility.

But I was obliged to pop along... just in case the race was to go ahead.

However, of course, inevitably when I arrived at the start-line the riders were already packing up to leave! Race off!

Luckily I had a Plan B. I was also booked to move on after covering the Road Race. My next assignment was at Rocquaine for the first Duathlon race of the year... but would that also fall victim to the weather?

The only way to know was to drive down... through the fog!

Thankfully my early start to the day wasn't a complete waste of time as the Guernsey Triathlon Club officials judged the conditions safe along the coast road cycle route and it was a green light to go!

So with cameras at the ready I captured a gallery of action photos. They are now online here:

How can a score-line of 7-2 give a slight sense of disappointment?

When Guernsey FC faced Crawley Down Gatwick at Victoria Park in front of the noisiest crowd so far, they really got the job done in the first half.

In fact after just five minutes they were already 2-0 up!

But, as happens so often, even at the highest level, it's hard to keep that high intensity going for a full ninety minutes.... but they did keep up the pressure for a memorable 45 minutes!

It was the second half that went a bit flat....

However the final score was fantastic. We cannot fault such a decisive result. The squad are really showing strength in depth with the next generation enjoying coming off the bench and gaining valuable experience for the future.

It's tough at the top. I photographed the Cornerstone Guernsey Basketball league game at Beau Sejour on Wednesday night and it was a tight game between top rivals.

Battling for dominance were Gravity and Savills. In an exciting climax it was Savills who just took the win by a single point!

I managed to capture a few photos of the action... but I have to be honest, I spent most of the time just being a spectator!

The Green Lionesses have hit a tough patch of form.

The side has been weakened by the absence of several key players leaving gaps across the pitch where a group of youngsters are facing visiting opposition and literally having to learn on the job.

To try and put a positive on the situation these junior players are gaining valuable experience and we hope that they are laying the foundations for the next few seasons.

Last Saturday proved to be a challenge for the GFC Women when AFC Varsity visited Victoria Park leaving, after producing a dominant performance, with their 1-4 win.

It's great to see that the Green Lionesses are still getting a good turnout of supporters who offer them lots of encouragement.

I think we all understand that we are in it for the 'long game' and sometimes you have to take a step back before re-grouping for another surge forward.

The Guernsey cliffs looked beautiful on the bright late February morning whilst I photographed Round 3 of the 2026 Guernsey Kart & Motor Club's Moto-X Championship.

This form of Motorsport is attracting quite a good entry of new junior riders. Looking around the pits I recognise this is driven by a group of ex-riders who are now fathers.

It's great to see them encouraging their children into the sport... something that is a win, win for the club and the families who get to enjoy some good shared time together.

A terrific job was done by GFC on Saturday when they sent home Haywards Heath Town with their tails between their legs after being well beaten by our local lads!

The final score line of 3-1 could have been more... but I shouldn't be greedy, eh!

To make things even more enjoyable the game was played on a sunny afternoon and we all know what a pleasure that was after so many weeks of rain!

Amidst the scene of utter devastation the Guernsey Velo Club held ROUND 2 of the 2026 Ian Brown's MTB Cross Country Series on Sunday morning.

The storm force winds a few weeks ago have transformed the Guet leaving huge pine trees scattered as if a bomb had felled them.

A sad scene but one that the GVC took advantage of by building a challenging track around the obstacles.

As a photographer it actually made an interesting backdrop to some of my photos. This is a link to a new gallery on my website if you are interested:

Saving the best till last, the 2026 Little Big Group Guernsey Rally entertained crowds of spectators as it finished the busy weekend of motorsport with some spectacular racing on Saturday afternoon.

The price to pay for this enjoyment was a thorough soaking for any mad photographers and spectators who chose to stand out for hours in the rain whilst waiting for the 'road show' to return to their stage.

However, we all soon dried out and the memory of the discomfort fades... but we still have the photos to recall the racing action!

I've now completed all the 2026 Rally edits and the hundreds of photos are now uploaded to my website if you are interested.

If you can share the link that would be great, thanks.
