Beach Buddies is going to Smeale (north) this Sunday, at the normal time of 11am, to tackle the large amounts of rubbish which have accumulated since the start of the year.

We are in the middle of a major effort to clear the beaches in the northwest region, from Jurby to the Point of Ayre, and have had some considerable success, but there's much more to do, so please give an hour of your time if you can make it.

We will supply all the necessary equipment. All you need is decent walking shoes and the desire to protect our beautiful environment and wildlife.
