A large group of members, family and friends of Ayr Rotary joined forces with Belleisle Rangers and others to take part in the annual Climate Week’s Ayr Beach Clean.

The volunteer band took time to engage with members of the public who were enjoying the beach at its best.

Encouraged by this, and with the approval of South Ayrshire Council, a few members took to the streets a week later in a much-appreciated, although smaller exercise, to clear a town lock-up area of rubbish and weeds.

Club President Ian Alexander said that he hoped these efforts would stimulate further enthusiasm among volunteer group..
