SOME sustainable changes are coming into force for this year’s Bude Lifeboat Weekend.

With plastics having a devastating impact on the marine environment, the organisers of Bude Lifeboat Weekend 2018 are to reduce their use of single-use plastic pint glasses over the weekend. Instead, they will be using hard plastic reusable glasses, and will charge £1 for anyone who would like to keep one.

The glasses will be available at the bar in the lifeboat marquee.
