JERSEY’S engineering community are hosting a number of events this week to increase awareness of the work they do in the Island.

From Chris Fairbairn. THE election fever that had kept me on tip-toes for a week or so is over for now, and the fallout is becoming apparent.

TWO late converted tries, in the closing minutes of their match against Les Quennevais Sharks, catapulted Beeches to the top of the JPromail Jersey Rugby Association table on Saturday.

TEENAGER Ben Beeley scored an unbeaten 57 only to end up on the losing side for Division I JJCA I in the NatWest Indoor Cricket League last night.

TAX thresholds will go up and fuel duty will be frozen under a Budget planned to help Islanders struggling with rising prices.

A BEAUTY therapist has taken mobile beauty therapy to the next level by combining a woman’s need to socialise with being pampered.

From Edward Trevor. OBVIOUSLY, Mrs Fritz (JEP, 18 October) does not know how elections work in the British Isles. In both the UK and Jersey it is the practice to cross reference ballot papers in case of fraud.

CONSTRUCTION work to build a £6 million air traffic control building and tower at Jersey Airport starts today.

From Trish Ellyat. DESPITE a relatively good turnout for this last election I think this could be greatly improved. Couldn’t we elect to vote either in person or online?

From Sandra Wakeham. RE. the recent comments on election procedure, when I gave my name prior to voting, I was dismayed to be laughed at when I asked if any ID was required from me.
