Tramore Tidy Towns
There was a great turnout recently for the Tramore Tidy Towns, Sunday morning weekly beach clean.
The team, armed with pickers, bags, and enthusiasm, cleaned the promenade, beach, and even the sand dunes!
Photos from the day show a large haul of refuse collected by the volunteers, which will be properly disposed of by the local authority workers. Afterward, there was time for chats, refreshments, and enjoying the beach. If you'd like to join Tramore Tidy Towns for the weekly beach clean or other activities, contact us via FB messenger or talk to one of our volunteers. We look forward to having you on board.
