Why you need to join SAS

July 03, 2009 | Words By: Finisterre

sewage cloud off guernsey (c) SASThere’s obviously a host of reasons why you need to join SAS, but in case you were thinking that the real reason they started - poo on your beach - has gone, then think again. Whilst they have done an amazing job in this area, it still happens.

Yesterday after meeting the new bank manager (who was great), i decided to head down for a swim out round the swim buoy at Aggie. The summer rain (heavy, but not unusual) had meant the sewage had overflowed and there was poo on the beach again and nobody was allowed in the sea. Gutted.

So get supporting the guys across the way and help them to continue fighting this problem and all the other ones out there. They are doing a great job. (Tom)
