Joy Melville, accompanied by Aileen Kerr, updated Troon Rotary members on the activities of the busy Beach Clean team. Joy was keen to give credit to the whole team of all ages and to Rotary for financial support. To date 3000 bags of rubbish have been collected, not only from the beach but many other areas within the town. Builders sacks, beach towels, and fishermen’s gloves all present challenges, and beyond that the wider issue of plastic marine pollution.

The Age of Chivalry is not dead – two 17 year old boys emerged from a local barber completely bald having donated all of their hair to a Cancer Appeal. The boys from Marr College told me that well over £ 1000 has been raised. Their selflessness is to be admired as winter is now approaching. Hopefully their hair will have grown in before Christmas.
