MSBA
Weymouth Herring run clean up 8:00 AM Sat April 4th. Maybe the sun will shine this year. Free Dunkin Donuuts and coffee see you there.

I think S-B should have a cleanup. We are a club, according to the Striper Cup at least.

Not a bad idea--the Ditch Troll guys from SOL are going to do one on the Canal.

Next Saturday and Sunday 18th and 19th - MBBA will be at Salisbury. All are welcome. We will be using the facilities overnight and it is always a super event. General cleanup and we also give instructions to all on how to erect snowfencing in record time.
Meet in the beach parking lot at 9:30.:walk:

Cub Scouts @ Buckeye Brook on Saturday - hopefully no beach whistles to explain to the kids.

Chris - I missed your post. As the people here are pretty spread out, perhaps the best way to help is to pitch in and assist other organizations that are doing clean ups. This is what we've done and supported for a few years.

But we should dangle a little carrot.

For all of those doing beach cleanups on next weekend, state on this thread where you are going and for what club. On the following week, confirm you did a cleanup (minimum of two hours) we will draw 3 winners for some plugs. Any club, any locations.

On April 4 I cleaned Duxbury and on April 5 I cleaned Plymouth.6 hours minimum.(with the MBBA)
This Sat the 18 & 19 I will be at Salisbury with the MBBAhttp://bestsmileys.com/waving/4.gif
C'mon up!
With lots of helping hands the fence gets put up quick.
We serve lunch in the campground.

Beach whistles ; ) LMAO
for now on if any little kids ask me about those I'm gonna refer them to JohnR.

Umm, no :rotflmao: please don't :D

Wendy and I took her daughter, two grandchildren and another child and participated in the MBBA Beach Cleanup at Plymouth on April 5th

Wendy and I will have the camper and spend this coming weekend at Salisbury State Park for this weekend's two day MBBA cleanup & fence/dune project.

On the 25th we will attend the MBBA Chapin Beach Clean Up in Dennis and on Sunday the 26th I am the cook for the MBBA Sandy Neck Clean Up (asst beach rep duties)

More after that also

I'm in!

I'll be working with the Newport County Salt Water Fishing Club on the Ocean Drive around 9 AM Saturday morning

See ya there - :wave:

I worked the Salisbury clean up for 2 days 7 hours, mostly putting up fence and planting beach grass. Then cooked hotdogs for the whole crew both days.
Pictures ....

http://picasaweb.google.com/Nance1597/2009SalisburyProject?authkey=Gv1sRgCNLdr8SQlMLj4QE&feat=directlink

We had about 20 scouts cleaning along an area near Buckeye Brook. Cleaning plus a cool lesson for the kids on the Watershed and why things are important to take care of.

I am still in

I did the Salisbury MBBA Project (both days)

Hey Plum Crazy...good hot dogs on that great new Grill

http://bestsmileys.com/waving/3.gifThank you Patrick and thank you for so graciously allowing me to use that fantastic new grill.
I seasoned it all up for ya.
Now I have to rest up for Chapin and Sandy Neck.
I'm gonna bring a hammock and watch you cook the dogs with my feet up!

John, I found several beach whistles while cleaning up...both the blue and the pink ones. I tried both ends, but they wouldn't make any noise with them.

Did the NCSWFC clean-up on the Drive last Saturday - it was me, Iron Mike, In the Surf, Janette & Frodo, and other members -

Iron Mike was driving the city truck for collection - he was also the trail boss...:shocked:

We did pretty well, even found a couple of old plugs - Mike got an old beater and I found a beaut under a washed up log -

The Iron Man got photos - boy was he bummed when he saw what I found - even I couldn't believe it - he wasn't right for the rest of the morning...:hihi:

If I see him tonite at the club meeting I'll get his camera so I can post the pix -

All done with Chapin and Sandy Neck.
Nice weekend.

I cleaned Race Point on Saturday and Nauset on Sunday with the MBBA. One more beach to go.
Scusset on Saturday May 9.

I cleaned Scusset Saturday the 9th.. My beach cleaning projects are over until October.

All cleaning projects are in?


Last chance to tell me what you did for cleanups this spring for a chance at some pluggage :hee:

I am all done.
I did 10 projects PLUS a non sanctioned at Plum Island.
11 total for the year.
We have one more at Horseneck in the fall and the MBBA is working on a special project at the Race for fall.
I am done ---officially.
I want to let every single fisherman know that my work is never ever done.
I carry a bag with me and always take out more than I came in with. It has become way more than a habit. I now seek out trash.
It is more important now that we are fishing.
The last thing we ever want to battle is that fishermen leave trash behind. Please don't be one of those guys.

(I know this doesn't pertain to MOST of you, but we do have some googans visiting the site)

Please don't let them even have a chance to hold anything against us.

Plum Crazy....Awesome post...If everyone kept the beach clean we would all be in better shape...

I did 6 MBBA Projects, a local and a Herring Run this Spring.

On a follow up to this (yes, I neglected a little too long) we have some winners for Pluggage courtesy of the random number generator:

Wendy,
Patrick,
Plum Crazy

Each win a plug (once I get them ;) )

Congrats :btu:

:kewl:Cool! Thanks John. Way to Go Patrick and Wendy:kewl:
