Any update and photos anyone as I was unavailable that weekend.

Good point as some may have Church duties or whatever and others may like a lie in after a long weeks work .
Tried to call Louise Robertson a couple of times WCI only to get her answer machine to leave a message.
Mary T may come back with a reason or may make a suggestion.

It's a good point and we are aware of the clash with church - but it was a compromise this year and last year and the tides also have to be considered. Saturday is not a good day for most and Sunday morning was the time suggested by the majority of those we asked. Next year we could try Saturday and hope that given sufficient notice we will have enough support. I would also like to mention that the litter situation has improved year on year and I hope you will all agree that the beaches sand surrounding areas are better. This has been helped of course by the super-markets' and community's improved co-operation over plastic bags and fast food containers and the fact that Scottish Water's screening is better and that they are in the process of sorting out the "rock armour" which surrounds the protruding manhole covers on the Askomel beach which has been a litter trap. Hopefully we can all keep up the effort and Campbeltown will soon have a reputation for its sparklingly clean loch and beaches. We have some more photos of the beach clean which I will arrange to have posted soon. Thanks again to those who have supported our efforts.
