New Year's Day Dip (Ep 01)

What better way to see in the New Year than by running into the freezing cold North Sea, in fancy dress, in aid of charity?

Well that's what around 200 brave souls signed up for this year in Scarborough's South Bay. Organised by The Lion's Club of Scarborough the event is now over 20 years old and is a New Year's Day staple by the seaside for locals and visitors alike.

Ian Smith was down on Foreshore Road and on the beach to talk to some of the people who were dressed up in fancy dress to take part and he also spoke to organiser of the event, Alan Deacon of The Lion's Club.
