Sponsored
Boxing Day dip to be held on Brean beach
 Brave
fundraisers are being sought to take part in a bracing dip in
the sea at Brean on Boxing Day in aid of a Burnham-On-Sea charity.
Over
a dozen supporters of rescue hovercraft charity BARB have already
signed up to take part in the sponsored splash, which will be
held to raise money towards the £60,000 campaign to buy
a new rescue hovercraft.
"This
is a unique opportunity to work off the excesses of Christmas
Day while raising money for a good cause,” a BARB spokesman
told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
"We've
already had plenty of interest from people wanting to take part
and welcome participants and spectators."
Those
taking part will gather at 12 noon at Krackers bar in South Road,
Brean on Saturday December 26th before walking down to the beach.
The
event’s organiser, Mark Roberts, the manager of Krackers,
added: "BARB is an excellent cause and we're delighted to
be supporting them at this event."
Sponsorship
forms can be collected from the BARB hovercraft station on Burnham’s
Esplanade during this weekend’s Christmas Grotto (open Saturday
and Sunday from 10am-4pm) or by calling Mr Roberts on 07701 083173.
