   sponsors can sign up to Gift Aid if they wish:   If you have your own charity which you wish to raise funds for then please go ahead.

 1pm  from the Sandy Beach (time to watch the Duck Race First).   more.. 

Wet suits allowed, preferably with fancy dress over the top, just a plunge in the sea is enough to say  you've 'done the Lyme Lunge'  for charity.  No doubt the collectors will get as wet as the Lungers!  Whether watching or lunging don't forget to arrive early.
