This is the advertising page for short term notices where you may sell, trade or barter, advertise for help wanted or a job wanted, or notify members of your group of an upcoming event or meeting and more.

As home owners in Montserrat, we found it difficult to find the things we were looking for when we first arrived. Word of mouth is a good way of communicating if everyone knows everything; that is unlikely in this small diverse community. Who would have guessed that the post office is the island's bulletin board? Following are some advertising categories to get things started, but if you have something you'd like to advertise which doesn't fit an existing category, just let us know how you would like it listed.

For Sale, Wanted to Buy, Wanted to Trade or Barter, Employment Opportunities, Employment Wanted, Events and Meetings, Does Someone Know, For Rent and Wanted to Rent.

By email, send us the following information and a photograph if possible; remembering that a picture is worth a 1000 words!

Led by Murani Lal Sharma, the troupe has performed traditional Charkula and other Indian folk dances in India and abroad, including performances before former US presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush.

The dance troupe has been performing to packed audiences in Trinidad, including Holi celebrations at the Gandhi Institute. The ten (10) person group is now leaving on a Caribbean tour which will take them to Surinam, Barbados, Grenada and then Montserrat on March 16th, 2010.

One of the items being performed is “Barsane Ki Lathamar Holi”, in which the women hit the men hard with seven feet bamboo staffs, while the men tried to shield themselves. Another feature is the “Mayur Raas” dance which focuses on the love between Lord Krishna and Radha.

The troupe's performance in Montserrat is as a result of a visit to Montserrat last year by the Trinidad-based Indian High Commissioner Malay Mishra. The Indian High Commission in Trinidad, Government of Montserrat and the Indian Community in Montserrat are the sponsors of the troupe

Special St. Patrick’s Week Ferry Trips & Fares to Montserrat

(Brades, Montserrat - February 27th, 2010): Twin Islands Ferry Service has announced several special ferry trips from Antigua, with discounted fares of EC$200 return, for the upcoming St Patrick’s Week celebrations on Montserrat . These special trips are as follows:

Friday March 12th, 2010, Ferry Departs Antigua at 6:30 p.m. and overnights in Montserrat

Saturday March 13th, 2010, Ferry Departs Montserrat at 7:00 a.m., Ferry Departs Antigua at 5:00 p.m., Ferry Departs Montserrat at 9:00 p.m.

Wednesday March 17th, 2010 (St Patrick’s Day), Ferry Departs Antigua at 8:00 a.m., Ferry Departs Montserrat at 7:00 p.m.

“These special St Patrick’s Week trips are designed to get residents and visitors in Antigua to come over to Montserrat and experience the island’s unique St. Patrick’s Week celebrations,” commented Montserrat ’s Director of Tourism, Ernestine Cassell. “With the Old Road Football Team from Antigua coming over to play Montserrat on Saturday March 13th from 5:00 p.m. at the Blakes Football Field, we expect to see several supporters and family members of the team coming over. With this in mind a special fete has been organised at The Lyme in Brades on Friday March 12th, the night before the football game. The fete will feature Antigua’s world-famous DJ Chickie International and Montserrat ’s own Multiplex I Power, with admission being only EC$10.”

For the St. Patrick’s Week special trips, discounted fares of EC$200 return for adults and EC$100 for children under 12 years will apply. The ferry will depart from the Deep Water Harbour in Antigua, with the trip to Montserrat taking approximately 75 minutes. Check in time is 60 minutes prior to departure and no advance ticketing is required. The normal ferry services on Mondays and Thursdays will remain the same, and the full ferry schedule and other information can be obtained from www.visitmontserrat.com or by calling 268 721 0756.

Montserrat has the distinction of being the only country outside of Ireland to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day as a national holiday, and the island of Montserrat comes alive with Caribbean flair for the annual event. Showcasing the unique mix of Irish and African heritage, the week-long festival will take place from March 13 – 20, 2010 at various locations throughout the island. Key events include Freedom Run and Hike, Heritage Day Feast, St. Patrick’s Day Dinner, a Junior Calypso Competition, a Pub Crawl Marathon and performances by the Martin Healy band from Ireland . The full schedule of St. Patrick’s Week events can be found at www.visitmontserrat.com.

****OTHER EVENTS OF NOTE****

MOVIES -- weekends at the Cultural Center -- CANCELED
Current films shown at the Cultural Center was a wonderful option for the island's adults and children alike, but as of May 29, 2008, the showing of films was canceled. In Madrid, Andalusia and Alicante Spain and in Coroico, Bolivia, we have been thrilled to attend outdoor movies held in town centers or flat sports areas. Everyone from the community brings chairs for themselves and their children and as the sun sets and dark arrives families gather with their chairs or blankets to sit on. The commercially minded also show up with cold sodas, homemade pastries and candy. Community activists and artists show up with a movie screen, usually a white sheet artfully fixed in four corners, and a projector and get the film organized. For us these evenings were always very special. We loved the outdoor movie, but the playfulness and wonder of children viewing a movie with their parents made it an unusual and unique experience. This is truly what a community is all about.

NEW MARKET, between Carr's Bay and Little Bay
Don't forget to go to the beautiful new market to buy your meats, fruits and vegetables and more. The market is open every day, but Friday and Saturday mornings are most popular. Come early as you know it's the custom in Montserrat.
