Beach cleaning group continue mission

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

A local beach cleaning group claims to have had a “record breaking” session in Ballaugh last weekend.

Beach Buddies volunteers collected 75 bags of rubbish in just over an hour on the Ballaugh Cronk.

That beats a previous record set by PokerStars staff on Gansey Beach last year.

Among the rubbish were 1,600 plastic bottles, tin cans and fishing gear as well as a full barrel of used diesel oil.

The next Beach Buddies session will take place on Sunday at 10.30am at Fisher’s Hill.
