The great Hamble beach cleanup

I quoth:

The late Bill Hicks (I assume that's the correct Bill?), didn't much care for the beach: "The beach. The beach! The beach! What the f**k's the deal with the beach? I don't get it," he said. "It's where dirt meets water..."

"Where dirt meets water" is a true and inspired observation. It is what it is - and it's an important part of many people's lives, especially those who live upon the various coastlines of our green (and sometimes pleasant) land.

In the general absence of any kind of 'real' local government (or heaven forbid, national government!) interest in the preservation and general up-keep of our most treasured landscapes and icons, it increasingly falls upon the public to do things for themselves, form groups, and get out there and do something.

Well, that is happening this weekend. If you live on the hampshire coast, if you know where Hamble is and if you have a problem* then please consider an hour or 3 in supporting the great Hamble beach cleanup of April 2009.
