What is the Dunbar Dip?

The Dunbar Dip is the chance to have a quick dip in the sea on New Year’s Day to help clear away the cobwebs and help a great cause at the same time. The Dip this year is organised in honour of local resident Tom Waugh who reintroduced the Dip in 2011. The Dip is also intended to be a fundraising event and we encourage everyone who takes part to either make a donation to or raise sponsorship for

Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland, Tom Waugh’s chosen charity.

 

Where will the Dunbar Dip take place?

The Dunbar Dip takes place at 1pm on Tuesday 1 January on the East Beach off Lamer Street, Dunbar. Please arrive at the beach car park from about 12.30pm where you will be met by the organisers. At 12.45pm we will have a short ceremony in honour of Tom Waugh to inaugurate the memorial bench in his name and welcome you to join us.

 

Last year the Dunbar Dip raised over £3,000 for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland and to honour Tom we want to equal and surpass this fantastic amount this year. So please help spread the word and encourage people to make donations on this page or via the Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland Shop on the day.

 

If you want to take part don't forget to let us know by popping into the Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland shop in Dunbar or by calling 0131 220 9599 or emailing alison.acosta@chss.org.uk

 

Let's make Tom proud!
