CHRISTMAS DAY SWIM

We are making an appeal for a little support in the way of bottle of wine for the punch. It is hard to believe and I don’t want to scare you but there is only five weeks left to Christmas.

So it is time to iron the togs and warm up the towel and get ready for the annual baptism in frosty waters that is the Christmas Day Swim.

The bucket collection on the day is as always for St Mary’s Day-care centre, but it is also a great opportunity for other organisations to raise money. If you are planning a sponsored swim on the day please let us know by emailing your details to rgdflynn@gmail.com.
