The Boxing Day Dip is an annual event organized by No. 200 (Torquay & Brixham) Squadron Air Training Corps and is enjoyed by both its members and the public. Participants are sponsored to take part in aid of raising funds for the unit as well as an additional chosen charity.
The charity selected for this year is Tormohun Rotary Charities and proceeds are divided 50% between both organisations. Over the years the Tormohun Rotary Club has helped 200 Squadron develop confidence in teamwork and leadership among a number of its cadets and the squadron would like to return the favour by selecting it as this year's charity. A donation also goes towards the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) for their support in making the event possible.
The Dip will take place from Torre Abbey Sands, Torquay on Tuesday 26th December 2017. Participants and supporters should aim to arrive for 10.30am ready to enter the sea at 11.00am. Tasteful fancy dress is encouraged and changing facilities will be kindly provided for participants in the Grand Hotel after the event.
There is no cost to get involved for participants or to just come along to support your local Air Cadet Squadron. If you would like to join in a sponsorship form can be downloaded from the website
