Members of the 2nd Sheringham and 1st Suffield Park Guides spent one of their weekly meetings on a beach clean.

Armed with tongs, thick gloves and strong sacks, they collected items of clothing, food wrappers and a beach ball.

A house brick or two were also found on the beaches of Cromer and Sheringham.

Unit leader Helen West said the guides enjoyed completing this community action element of their programme and hope their efforts made a difference.

Both guide units, which meet weekly during term time, have an extremely varied programme of activities usually designed around their own ideas. New members, girls aged 10-14, are always welcome. Free taster sessions can be arranged for anyone who may be interested. Register your interest at: www.girlguiding.org.ukinformation-for-parentsregister-your-daughter
