Beach Buddies to blitz Southern 100 course

The Island's Beach Buddies are coming inland this week to blitz the Southern 100 course around Castletown ahead of next week's road races.

A call's gone out for volunteers to help clear litter and debris from the four mile Billown circuit from 2pm on Wednesday (2 July).

It will be the fourth time Beach Buddies have spruced-up roads around the course, before the pre-TT race meeting and the Southern 100  itself.

The initiative was started by Castletown-based friends Ron Ronan and David Wilkinson, who will be involved on Wednesday.

The meeting point is the car park at the Southern 100 headquarters on Castletown by-pass, where volunteers will divide into groups to tackle a short section of the course for one hour.
