Founder Bill Dale hoping for more success next year
Volunteers at Beach Buddies have been thanked by its founder for making it such an amazing year.
The profile of the group has grown rapidly in 2017 and Bill Dale has given talks on its success in a number of different countries.
He was also sought by government to help out with the cleaning of the Island's greenlanes.
Mr Dale hopes next year can be just as good - if not better:
Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital closure 'inconvenient' but 'significant issues' need to be fixed
Work to tackle problems taking longer than anticipated
Four local authorities looking for by-election candidates
Ballaugh, Bride, Garff and Jurby Commissioners all seeking additional members
Reinstatement of home births 'remains at top of agenda' for Manx Care
Chief Exec insists the situation is 'improving'
Weekend sailings at risk
SPC warns poor weather could lead to disruption or cancellations
