Lake side clean up readies area for summer visitors

On Saturday the 21st September, people who had already spent a nervous time watching the two America’s Cup races early in the day now had the chance to spend some of that pent up nervous energy at the Cromwell Rotary annual ‘Lake-side Clean-up’ on Lake Dunstan. 

This event  smarten-ups the lake shore in time for the start of the summer holiday visitor season.  Rotarians with loppers, saws and brush-cutters, attack the annual growth of weeds and collect the fallen willow debris. They also collect the general rubbish left by a few uncaring visitors to our beautiful lakeside. The Lions and other local groups also get together and help perform this annual task. Luckily this year the weather was kind and many, many trailer loads were carted off to the local tip for recycling.
