Sports equipment for Port Erin beach

Commissioners purchase football and volleyball gear

Beach goers in Port Erin will be welcomed by some new additions this summer.

Port Erin Commissioners has purchased a volleyball net and football goals that'll be anchored on the beach close to the Bay Hotel.

Nick Watterson, the chairman of the local authority, says buying the equipment was a great way of encouraging people to use 'the best beach on the Island'.

He's asking anyone interested in arranging formal competitions to contact the commissioners beforehand.
