National Coastal Cleanup Day on Robben Island.
                                                                                                              
on the 17th September 2011.

Ann Gray organised and helped co-ordinate the group of just over 100 people going to Robben Island to help clean up the shoreline. There were a number of other organisations and groups together with the CBC members.
Well done to all. Over 200 bags of litter was collected.
