The ‘Misty Isle Bricks’ Lego fundraising event returned to Portree on Saturday 21st March, showcasing several impressive Lego builds and raising £6,790 for Cancer Research UK.
Now in its fourth year, the event has raised around £25,000 for Cancer Research UK, with organiser John Nicolson delighted with how this year’s event was received.
“It went very well, we had an excellent turn out and everyone enjoyed the day”, he explained, “it was great to have so many new displayers from Skye joining us and everyone really enjoyed the day. The Lego Tombola sold out and the live Lego build and raffle were all a great success.”
Amongst the varied Lego builds on display was a well-known sight to locals and tourists alike, constructed with uncanny accuracy.
“The Portree Harbour build, by Clive Wadham, was great and proved popular with the visitors. I also really enjoyed Gavin Cleary’s build of Craggy Island from ‘Father Ted’”, John said.
After another successful year raising money for a charity he cares deeply about, John also put his thanks on the record when talking to the Free Press.
“I’d like to say thanks to everyone who took the time to display and volunteer, the Cancer Research UK team for their hard work and everyone who came to visit the show,” he said.
