“In our previous visits we have removed a remarkable seven tonnes of plastic and we hope to remove yet more this weekend. We will be at the sea end on the eastern side of the central canal so please come and join us at any time on either day, bring a picnic and some friends and enjoy all this special place has to offer this last weekend of summer.”
