In this week’s bumper edition of The Orcadian

This week’s edition of The Orcadian is now available in shops and online, here.

This week’s massive 72-page edition of the paper features a 24-page pullout with coverage and results from four of Orkney’s six main agricultural shows.

On this week’s front page:

Mixed response to car park attendant “bodycam” plans — in a bold move by Orkney Islands Council (OIC) to protect carp park attendants, officers are to trial body-worn video recording devices

Also in this week’s paper:

• Full coverage of one of the most eventful and celebrated weeks in the Orkney calendar with photos from the Orkney Classic Motor Show and Riding of the Marches and the Dounby Show Night Parade.
• A round-up of all the action from last weekend’s Parish Cup final.
• Exceptional finds at the Ness of Brodgar.
• A petition for a new abattoir to be built in the county is launched amid fears that previous plans for a facility have been “quietly dropped”.
• OIC openness “like a stunned giraffe in a low stairwell” says one local councillor.
