ONCE again we will be a good distance away from a beach this weekend when Beach Buddies holds its volunteer event on Sunday, August 11th, when we go to Knockaloe to clean up the grounds after the Royal Agricultural Show.
We have been involved with the show (and the Southern Show) for many years, with a team of our volunteers spending a morning collecting rubbish left behind after the two-day show.
It will be interesting to see how much rubbish is left for us to clean up – in recent years we have definitely noticed a major decrease in the amount of rubbish we collect, so it looks like the message is getting through.
Meet at 10.30am – entry is via the bottom gate (nearest Peel) – our truck and trailer will be there and easy to find. Everyone welcome – this is one of those events very different to cleaning beaches, but also very rewarding to see the area left spotless afterwards,
• Beach Buddies is sponsored by FIM Capital and this year won the Energy Globe world award for our “inspirational” education programme with young people.
