Deleting folder with Date format

Hi,
I have number of directories being created under a main directory on daily basis with the sysdate as below
Code:
$ pwd
/hello/TEST
$ ls
20111103
20111102
20111101
20111031
20111030
20111029
20111028
20111027
20111026
20111025
20111024
20111023
20111022
20111021
20111020

All the above are directories under TEST.
Could someone please advise how can I delete the directory which are 30 days old.

That is if I run the command today(20111103) it should delete any directories older then 20111003 and so on.

Many Thanks In advance
