Old notes & coins,  overseas coins, banknotes?

 The Rotary Club of Lyme Regis are collecting them and other money for charity.  There are collecting boxes in Martin Diplock Estate Agents, Lyme Regis and Fortnam, Smith & Banwell Estate agents in Charmouth.

So have a look at the back of the drawer or old an old sock where you put last year’s foreign currency that you will never use again as the Club can recycle it - including out of date currencies. To date they have raised over £1000.00 for good causes.

WALKS and TOURS

Do take advice about safe tide times before setting off for more than fifteen minutes hike, without a guide, along our beautiful beaches: - what appears to be an easy bit of ground to scramble over is more likely to be a treacherous mud slide - don't take a chance!
