Operation Fields Beach Clean
Compton Beach : Compton Farm (Fields) Car Park
[Compton Farm Beach-9118]
Next Saturday 5th May 2012 first thing in the
Compton-Farm-Beach-morning at 9am,we are meeting at Compton Farm Beach Car Park, Compton Bay to clean up the beach.
You are not obliged to spend hours cleaning or if you cant make 9am no problem – just come down when you can.
If every one who surfs/walks/swims at Compton, pops down, and spends half hour to fill a couple of bags we would clear pretty much all the rubbish down there in one go.
Bring BIN BAGS! BLACK & the CLEAR ONES you get given by the council – WE ARE RECYCLING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
Please understand this is a voluntary event and the Surf Club takes no responsibility for your actions.
Compton Farm Beach Clean
This is my favourite beach on the Isle of Wight but not how I wish to see it. 20-30 people with a black bin bag could have it all cleared in an hour or two. Surfers , walkers and other beach users walk past like it isn’t there. I know the National trust employ a beach warden for the summer months and eventually they will have it all cleared but with the warm spring 1000’s of people have been down on the beach since those lovely weeks in February. This is the home to the Glanville Fritillary Butterfly amongst many others but it looks like a rubbish tip right now. Most of the waste is from storm/tide/ships but there is also plenty of rubbish every year left on the grass & cliffs by people having bbqs/camp fires etc
Anyone interested helping me get this cleared up please let me know. Provisionally we are looking at Saturday May 5th 2012.
SAS Beach Clean – A Huge Success
Congratulations to the Surfers Against Sewage for another successful beach clean at Grange Chine. Saturday the 26th March saw glorious weather and a really good turn out by at least 48 volunteers to help with the beach clean. There was a really lovely vibe and 45 bags of litter and a huge chest freezer that wasa dragged about half a mile along the beach by a couple of lads. As the morning went on a small swell started to build and a few waves were to be had at Compton and enjoyed all weekend. Well done to Joe Caudwell and all who came along to help.
