ITS PARTYTIME at Porthmeor Beach today (Sunday, March 24) from 4.30pm when dog owning residents and visitors hold a dog-day afternoon of fun and games as part of the campaign to show support for current summertime dog control orders.
Fun and games organised by St Ives Dog Owners Group (SIDOG) will begin at 4.30pm whatever the weather and end with a massive beach sweep cleaning up the whole beach.
Come along whatever the weather! None dog owners welcome too to show your support.
The weather forecast is for brighter spells later this afternoon so the group is hoping for a good turn out.
The event today coincides with the planned introduction of the beach control orders that would have prevented dog owners and their pets accessing the main beaches 24-hours a day until the autumn. St Ives Town Council has delayed the introduction of the new orders until May 1 after a legal challenge was mounted against the proposal. SIDOG support the exisiting orders which restrict access to evenings from 7pm and before 8am when most of the beaches are free of bathers.
