The 12th Annual Guernsey Cheshire Home Boxing Day dip will take place at Cobo Bay on Monday 26th December with dipping time at 10.30am. Last year’s very successful 11th anniversary dip raised in excess of £4,000 for the Guernsey Cheshire Home.

The event is for all ages and fitness and is not a swim but more of a brave dip into the icy waters of Cobo Bay opposite the Rockmount Hotel. Dippers can afterwards head into the bar for refreshments, mulled wine and soft drinks courtesy of The Rockmount and hot mince pies courtesy of Warry’s Bakery.

If you would like to take part please download the sponsorship form on the bottom of the page. Money will be collected on the day buy organisers. Please bring all donations and money with you to the dip.

In common with previous years fancy dress although not obligatory is encouraged to add to the festive party spirit of this great community event. The Home’s residents have decided that the theme for 2011 should be fairies. We hope to see as many of you as possible dressed up!

We do hope you can join us at what is a fun and refreshing Boxing Day event.
