sorry for the late notice on this!
On the 10th January 2009 the National Diving & Activity Centre and Yorkshire Divers will be hosting a Guinness World Record Extreme Ironing Event. You are invited to support this event and raise money For the RNLI; a charity providing 24-hour lifesaving service around the UK and Republic of Ireland.
The sport that is 'extreme ironing' is an outdoor activity that combines the danger and excitement of an 'extreme' sport with the satisfaction of a well pressed shirt. It involves taking an iron and board to remote locations and ironing a few items of laundry. Our Guinness World Record attempt will be for the most number of divers underwater ironing at the same time.
The present record is currently held at 72 by an Australian group - We hope to smash that record and raise money for the RNLI in the process.
We already have sponsorship from Gallowglass in the form of one of their fine landies to get us to Wales, as well as bits and pieces from Carillion.
Help us reach our target by sponsoring the YD team!
