Large numbers expected again for Boxing Day Dip in Spittal
Large numbers are expected again this year for the annual Boxing Day Dip at Spittal beach, with the ‘dip’ scheduled for 11am.
There will be a TeamMND taking part in aid of the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) as in previous years and Georgina Hill will again be part of the team.
The county councillor for Berwick East, who takes part each year and helps co-ordinate the event, said: “Numbers seem to be growing each year in terms of both swimmers and spectators.
“I know of people coming from Coldingham and other places, and lots doing it for the first time. We had a large crowd last year and I expect it to be even bigger this time.
“It really is a brilliant community event – a fantastic opportunity to shake off the Christmas Day cobwebs and raise money for charity. A range of excellent charities and causes are being represented.”
“Spittal Bowling Club has kindly agreed to open again this year for warmth and refreshments.”
Local MNDA co-ordinator Colin Hardy added: “TeamMND will be raising funds for and awareness of Motor Neurone Disease, all money raised with be used to support people living with MND.”
