Ramsey RNLI is hosting Ramsey’s New Year Chilly Dip 2017 on Sunday 1st January 2017. All registration and sponsorship money raised will go to Ramsey RNLI and the children of Bunscoill Rhumsaa.
Registration is from 10am at Ramsey RNLI Station on South Promenade, Ramsey, with the dip itself taking place promptly at 11am from Ramsey RNLI slipway. Members of Ramsey RNLI’s volunteer lifeboat crew will be hand to give safety advice. They will also be on the beach and in the water looking after the safety of dippers and spectators alike. Dippers should come along prepared with suitable warm clothing to change into afterwards.
Those prudent souls not bold enough to brave the invigorating waters of Ramsey Bay are encouraged to come along and support the plucky dippers with a warm smile. Everyone is invited to come along and have fun.
A small registration donation of ?2 per person is suggested and Dippers are also encouraged to raise some sponsorship money for the RNLI charity and Bunscoill Rhumsaa.
Registration and sponsorship forms are available from Ramsey RNLI Shop, Bunscoill Rhumsaa, Ramsey Town Library as well as Ramsey RNLI Station. Alternatively, dippers can just turn up and register on the day, but please note that a responsible adult must accompany and sign in young people under the age of 16 years.
Around 70 plucky souls braved the icy waves of Ramsey Bay for the 2016 Ramsey New Year Chilly Dip raising just short of ?1400 for Ramsey RNLI and the pupils of Bunscoill Rhumsaa.
