The Bay Vigil is calling all lovers of the Bay to a Vigil on  Tuesday, January 8th from dusk to 10 pm. By joining together and shining our little lights around the Bay, we shall demonstrate our concern and care about this Bay.

You may enjoy a family affair - a picnic on the beach! You may be a group of supporters of the appeal to the Federal Court. You might be business owners expressing your appreciation for the Bay and your dismay at the dredging which shall benefit a few at the expense of many.

Pelicans and friends   We invite and call everyone who is willing and able, to join us in forming a chain of lights around the Bay. By early January, we plan to post here a network of sites and people who know they shall be there surrounding the Bay on the night of January 8th.



This event has been called by Blue Wedges coalition. Further details can be found here.
