We lost count of the amount of dippers who showed up for our New Year's Day 11:11am dip today....uz all absolutely smashed it team.
What a way to bring in the new year, surrounded by great people, great vibes and so much kindness.
I genuinely showed up today loaded with a virus and equipped with a packet of party poppers, only expecting my small circle to be there (in all honesty I thought it would be a nice wee day off 🤣)....but to see all those families show up for themselves on a blistery windy morning, and brave that icey sea together was phenomenal.
A massive thank you to those of you who brought wood and snacks, to those of you who captured photos, to those of you who took the time to welcome people, and to Michelle and Kim for opening up the community hall so we could all gather for warmth and goodies.
At this time of year I am always burnt out and threatening to hand in my notice. Then a real community spirit descends from the heavens and I am reminded of the power of good people and good tools in our lives. The water has a unique way of offering us that 🙏
Thank you all, and we hope 2026 is an absolute blessing for you all 🙏❤️
