ISLANDERS on Easdale are hoping funders will give them £10,000 so a community buy-out of the World Stone Skimming Championships quarry can go ahead.
A decision from charity Scottish Land Fund is expected by May, according to Eilean Eisdeal chairman Duncan Smallman.
Each year, hundreds of people trot across the globe to take part in the skimming event, which last year was won by Keisuke Hashimoto from Japan.
