Media Release Culture Vannin:
Pohllinee - Merpeople
Jedoonee / Sunday will see a Manx Gaelic beach clean at Perwick in Purt le Moirrey. Organised by Culture Vannin, in conjunction with Beach Buddies, the first, in what will prove to be a regular clean-up at Perwick, will involve volunteers from a variety of Manx speaking groups such as Pobble and Mooinjer Veggey working under the umbrella title of Pohllinee or Merpeople!
Commenting on the event Adrian Cain, the Manx Language Development Officer for Culture Vannin said ‘that this was a great opportunity for the Manx speaking community to contribute to the Beach Buddies mission and that we aim to clean Perwick Beach on a regular basis this year to coincide with the Our Island Celebrations. Over the course of the year we will develop a series of Manx language based activities to coincide with the regular clean ups’.
The event is open to all regardless of your level of Manx. Volunteers will meet at 11am at the car park near the Mona’s Queen memorial.
