A huge thanks to all who turned up at the Rush Clean Coasts clean up of the South Beach sand, dunes and rocks today. And thanks to Joe from The Strand Bar for providing the much welcomed refreshments afterwards.

We were delighted to win first prize in the Rush St. Patrick's day parade. Our theme was all things play both in and on our Blue Flag beach.

We now have 2 full sustainability party kits to loan out in Rush. This has 18 place settings for kids, some plates and cutlery for adults along with two drinks dispensers. You can borrow a party kit by e-mailing [email protected] or sending us a DM to arrange collection.

Congratulations and well done to all the winners of prizes in the Let's Play Rush art competition. We got some great examples of art depicting activities across many of the events we held last yea. From sock fighting to the pumpkin hunt and sack racing. Well done to all !!

Thanks to Aine from Clean Coasts for guiding us through a Marran Grass planting session on the South Beach Dunes yesterday. This is proven to help protect the dunes from corrosion. We plan to do this twice a year from next Spring. And thanks to those volunteers who turned up.

We are delighted to have reached a milestone of 4,000 members on our Rush Free Stuff Facebook Group. This is a great example of the circular economy where unwanted items are given away within the group. Why not join today if you are not already a member facebook.com/groups/1987109…
