Organiser Dr John Bull admitted: It was pretty chilly! I only stayed in the water for a few seconds myself.

"There was quite a severe undertow, so it was difficult to get out of the water - that was the wrost part- but it was all in a good cause.

"Those taking a dip were sponsored and we collected about 630 from the people who were on the beach watching. Around 50-70 people took part this year and everyone seemed to have fun."
