  Fly Tipping Incidents
Several incidents of fly tipping have been reported in Maughold during March. Resulting in the Commissioners having to use Parish resources to remove the illegally dumped goods.

Sometime in early March two televisions, a crate of beer glasses, and wine and whisky bottles were dumped in a plantation on the Dreemskerry Road. The police are currently following up an interesting lead and would appreciate any additional information. The glass was in a particularly dangerous location for anyone walking or riding past on a cycle. The consequences of a slip or a fall on to such brittle sharp materials make this an even more worrying incident.

In mid March 8 large bags of garden waste were left at two points above Hibernia on the Gooseneck Road. This included a large quantity of palm leaves. The police suspect that these materials were deposited by a gardening contractor. Any information that might help to identify the culprit would be appreciated.

The Commissioners request that any activity that appears out of the ordinary is reported either directly to the Warden on 422148 or to the Police at Ramsey.

Fly tipping is occurring with increasing frequency and any assistance with curbing this illegal behavior would be most welcome. Several years ago there was a successful prosecution following an incident of tipping in the parish. The Commissioners hope that the perpetrators of the recent incidents can be similarly dealt with.

  Maughold Daffodil Events!
The Daffodils are currently putting on their annual show for those passing along the highways in Maughold. As usual they are providing a stunning accompaniment to a walk or drive in the Parish - currently the best free show on the Island!

Always good to cheer the gloomiest soul and definitely worth looking out for as you pass through.

If nothing else take them as a jaunty merry signpost to the coming summer.

Judging of the Dhoon School Daffodil Competition took place on March the 12th. The children had potted their bulbs in the autumn, and the results, once again, were a joy. Large chocolate eggs were given as prizes for the winners in the Best Daffodil and Best Decorated Pots Sections. The Daffodils being judged by Mrs Hazel Lace CP and Mrs Louise Smith, whilst the pots were judged by Mrs Daphne MacOwan from Ballajora Arts and Crafts.
The judges commented on the excellent number of entries (65) as well as their high quality. As always the behaviour and attitude of the children was excellent throughout the potting stages and throughout the prize ceremony. Thankyou to them and to all staff at the school, particularly the School's Caretaker Mr Phil Quayle.

The Commissioners are now looking forward to launching the 2010 Competition in the autumn of this year.
