Beach Buddies will help to clean up Mooragh Park’s lake at the weekend.

Last year volunteers shifted more than a tonne of rubbish from the drained lake in Ramsey.

The event is on Sunday, January 12, and starts at 2pm and finishes no later than 3.30pm.

The meeting point is at the Mooragh Cafe where all equipment will be handed out.

Organisers say volunteers will need wellington boots and waterproof clothing.

For those who don’t fancy getting into the lake itself, your help is needed to clean up around the outside of the lake, or to go to the beach just a few yards away.

Last year 229 volunteers turned out, with 109 brand new faces.

In the mud on the bottom of the lake a working wrist watch was found.

One of the volunteers knew who had lost it and returned it to the owner.
