This morning, FCT Administrative Director, Nicole Garofano is contacting groups who have expressed an interest in participating in this year’s Clean Up Barbados event to finalise their group numbers and chosen locations for Clean Up Barbados 2011. “Groups are contacting the FCT to register daily”, says Garofano. “The biggest challenge is finding locations for the groups with a high demand for beaches around the country.”

Ms Garofano added, “Although the focus is not soley on beach clean ups, there is a large interest in these areas because they are deemed to be safer to clean with children in the groups and of course you can go for a lovely sea bath afterwards – weather permitting!”

The locations locked in so far are as follows:
Brandons/Brighton beach – SBI Distribution and affiliated Brownie Pack
Accra Beach and eastern end of Boardwalk – Accra Beach Hotel
Barclays Park to ‘Random’ – Charity Chicks
Consett bay to Bath South – RBC Reinsurance
Bath beach – Stantec Consulting
Silver Sands and Miami – Christ Church Barbados District of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
