COAST News

COAST staff and volunteers have been hard at work clearing undergrowth from around the Lamlash tennis courts, prior to work beginning on the new Marine Discovery Centre.

On Friday 20th January there was a Celebration Event at the tennis pavilion. All were welcome for tea, coffee and cakes, and to hear about the plans and to share ideas. A goodly crowd heard Andrew and Manuela describe the proposed development and discussed a variety of ways of raising funds and providing practical help.

Later in January, on Sunday 29th, there was a volunteer work party with work both outside on the tennis courts and inside the old pavilion. The work outside involved clearing scrub, cutting back hedges and removing old fencing. Inside the pavilion a lot of effort has gone into removing old, damaged plaster from the walls and clearing out old fiittings from the changing rooms.
