Big weekend for Beach Buddies

Documentary to be made

It's a big weekend for FIM Capital Beach Buddies, with a professional documentary being shot at beach cleans taking place both today and tomorrow.

The Waterbear Network - based in the Isle of Man - looking at how the charity operates and what it has achieved since its formation.

According to Beach Buddies founder Bill Dale, the intention is to show the rest of the world what can be achieved by communities simply getting together because they want to make a change.

Today, there's a session at Niarbyl throughout the day, starting at 10am.

Then, tomorrow, there's a session at Castletown Bay from 10.30am, followed by a dog walk and litter-pick on the old St John's to Peel railway line, starting from St John's at 2pm.

All volunteers are welcome to all the events throughout the weekend.
