Great British Beach Clean in Deal 21st Sept

Very strong winds and a high tide today but this did not dent the enthusiasm of our 34 volunteers out this morning as Deal's part of the Great British Beach Clean.

We collected 20 bags of rubbish weighing 42.5Kg.

Plus:

• 1 lobster pot weighing 16Kg
• 1 metal pole weighing 20Kg (still trying to work out what it is - any ideas welcome!)
• 2 x pieces of wood weighing 1.7Kg

That is a staggering 80kgs - a definate record for us.

Ideas?

A Massive thank you to our wonderful volunteers and also to Deal Beach Warden, Wendy Boorman for keeping us in order and doing all the collation work for the MCS.

We had a great turnout this morning with some 25 enthusiastic beach cleaners decending on Deal Beach
