Also in Saturday’s weekend edition:

• Nearly half of Islanders buying a home for the first time are having to borrow from the ‘bank of mum and dad’ – with some receiving hundreds of thousands of pounds to help them on to the property ladder, new figures show.

• A ‘radical’ agreement to improve education standards in the Island by creating a social partnership between a teaching union and the States has been signed

• A major town hotel is to close its doors for good from the end of the 2015 tourism season

• One of Jersey’s oldest social clubs has accepted its first female member – nearly a century after it first opened its doors

• Islanders are once again being encouraged to get out and take photographs of Jersey to be turned into postcards. See Saturday’s weekend edition for full details of how to enter the Picture Jersey competition, organised by Luxury Jersey Hotels in association with the JEP and sponsored by Jersey Post
