CHILL OUT ON SUNDAY WITH BEACH BUDDIES

CHILL OUT ON SUNDAY WITH BEACH BUDDIES
THERE’S a special event in Peel on Sunday evening when Manx Radio’s “Sunday Night Chill Out Show” goes outdoors to Peel, based at the Meta Lounge at the swimming pool end of the promenade.

So we thought we would do something different this weekend and run our Sunday event in the late afternoon instead of the morning, giving our volunteers the chance to attend the Chill Out event, hosted by Chris Pearson.

We will meet at the swimming pool end of the promenade and have a clean-up in the immediate area and also on the headlands, around Peel Castle, the harbour and, of course, the beach! We will be there from 4.30pm. The session ends no later than 6pm.

You might also want to enter a special Manx Radio competition. The station is giving away an exclusive “VIP Cabana Experience” for up to 10 friends – to chill out in comfort at Peel. The winners will also get a choice of drinks: Prosecco, house wine or beer. Details on the Manx Radio website.

• Beach Buddies is sponsored by the wonderful FIM Capital.

Collection Bins

Beach Buddies provides, manages and maintains a network of 50+ collection bins around the island to encourage and enable members of the public to collect and safely dispose of beach rubbish. Our team visits each of the bins each week or fortnight depending on location and season to empty the contents and ensure the bin is in good order. We recycle what we can and depose of the remainder at the Energy From Waste facility. Last year we deposited over 20 tonnes of rubbish in this way. This is at the core of operation as well as being the most intensive of our activities.
