Manx charity branch established 6,000 miles away
A Manx beach cleaning charity has gone international with the establishment of a branch 6,000 miles away.
Beach Buddies now has a group in Hong Kong set up by Manxman Nick Thompson.
It's seeking to emulate the charity's success by tidying the shore across Hong Kong's extensive coastline.
The first beach clean will take place tomorrow (Feb 12) at Long Mei beach, Tai Po, to coincide with the Chinese New Year celebrations.
It's a welcome expansion for Beach Buddies founder Bill Dale:
Steam Packet praises passengers and crew following 'significantly rougher' than normal crossing
MiCard alternatives 'must be better than what we already have'
Last chance for central residents to respond to 20mph consultation
Spitfire passenger flights to launch from Ronaldsway
