Rossall Beach Clean This morning, Monday 4th October, children representing the School Council from Thornton Primary School joined a group of Rossall Beach residents and volunteers in a beach clean. The children, aged between 7 and 11, donned wellys and reflective vests as they collected three large bags of flotsam from the beach. They were accompanied by Headteacher Mrs Stephanie Reeves and Teaching Assistant Mrs Tracey Barnes. The beach clean was organised by Rossall Beach Residents Association and the clean up was preceded by a safety talk from one of the Wyre Countryside Rangers, who explained the importance of the event, both to the environment and the appearance of the area. Mrs Barnes explained that she had suggested the idea of representatives from Thornton Primary School helping out with the beach clean, as she believed that it would be an interesting and educational activity for the children. “When I suggested it to Mrs Reeves”, she explained, “the idea was seized upon as a great way for the children to learn about the impact that we are having on our environment. It was shocking to see just how much rubbish was collected from such a short stretch of beach.” She continued, “It was amazing the range of things that we collected! We expected to find discarded drinks bottles and cans, but the children also retrieved various unexpected items including a shoe, a car mud flap and numerous children’s dummies!” “The highlight of the beach clean for the children,” she explained, “was probably finding two large fish on the beach. The children debated whether they were fish or baby sharks, before one of the members of the Resident’s Association identified them as being Dogfish – actually members of the shark family!” During the beach clean, hundreds of tiny plastic tubes were collected. It was explained by the Ranger that these were from cotton buds, such as are bought for cosmetic use or ear cleaning. Although many of these products use rolled paper with small wads of cotton at either end, which being natural products are more biodegradable, many are still produced using plastic rods. These are frequently disposed of by ‘flushing them away’ with the result being that they are discharged into the
Mention LINK-Mag when contacting advertiser
sea and are both unsightly when they are washed up on the beach as well as being potentially dangerous to marine life if they are swallowed. Mrs Reeves explained that the children were appalled at the numbers of cotton bud tubes found and felt that ‘more environmentally friendly materials’ should be used. She feels that the children’s views should be encouraged and nurtured and is intending to promote a school project where the children can produce posters and write letters to the producers of these cotton buds to encourage the use of bio-degradable materials. Children from the school will be back on the beach in a few weeks, joining the Wyre Countryside Rangers on Fleetwood beach to look at what the tides have brought ashore. Mrs Barnes said, “Activities like this get children out and about, whilst teaching them about our local environment and how to be more responsible citizens. The beaches of the Fylde Coast are often taken for granted. We often see the beach, but completely miss seeing all the fantastic and exiting things that can be found there if only we took the time to look.” Thornton Primary School have previously been involved with ‘Operation Cleansweep’, where children from local primary schools joined together to collect waste from around the Thornton area. The week-long operation was organised by Wyre Community Safety Partnership and resulted in 30 sacks of rubbish being collected from pavements, kerbs and grass verges around the schools!

What does it take to run a marathon? Fitness? Stamina? Endurance? Madness Coupled with the enjoyment of running and a sense of achievement is probably closer to the truth. Witnessing the sheer determination of the runners of the London Marathon earlier this year and the amazing sense of achievement felt by those who completed the 26.2 mile route stirred me into entering it for next year. However running all that way without doing it for a worthy cause seemed such a missed opportunity for so much effort. Therefore the search for a suitable charity ensued.
The Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre is a proactive and innovative charity, passionately committed to supporting anyone affected by Multiple Sclerosis through access to unbiased information and advice. Their aim is to act as a centre of resources for any affected by MS, whether it be the individual with the diagnosis or their family, friends, employers, work colleagues, or professionals in the healthcare field.
giving money to charity, but supporting them for the following year and enabling them to provide the support and advice which is so badly needed by those affected by MS.
If you would like to support me by making a donation you can do this at http://www.justgiving.com/Tracy-Barlow or alternatively you can send a donation to the c/o Jenny Barlow Great Arley School, Holly Road, Thornton. Thank you
The MSRC is a non government funded charity who rely on the kind donations of the British public in order to continue providing such a fantastic service. I am going to be running the Virgin London Marathon next April in order to raise much needed funds for the charity. The London Marathon is their largest fundraising event of the year and they rely on the funds raised to maintain their services for the following year.
I ran the Paris half marathon earlier on this year in aid of Red Marsh school mini bus appeal and raised over ÂŁ500 towards their cause. Knowing that the money I raised went to a good cause and really made a difference made the whole experience even more worthwhile and even more of a sense of achievement. I would like to take this opportunity to ask you if you would be kind enough to make a donation to my cause. I realise that in the current financial climate funds are few and far between for most of us. However this applies to the charities as well. By donating to my fundraising you will not just simply be
