The Dip took place again on 1st January 2012 on Peel Beach, when the three charities supported were Peel Lifeboat, Multiple Sclerosis, and The Children's Centre, Phillip Christian Centre, Peel.
Over 200 brave dippers took part again this year. Collections on the day were just over £2,000. More sponsorship money is still coming in, but we would ask any dippers who have not as yet sent in their money to please send it to Green's Jewellers, Michael Street, Peel as soon as possible. The Coffee Morning and presentation of the cheques will take place in the Corrin Hall, Peel on Friday 20th April 2012 between 10 am and 12 noon. Admission is £1 and all the proceeds will go to the three charities supported this year.

The dip began
on 1st January 1983 with a total of 4 dippers raising £50.00
for Multiple Sclerosis.
The
number of dippers increased in the following years, as did the
charities receiving money. The Peel R.N.L.I was added and then
a third charity changing each year.
The "third" charities
in the past have been Crossroads Care, Motor Neurone, Western Live-at-home,
Special Olympics and Peel division of St John ambulance, Cruse Bereavement and many
more.
In
total the dip has raised over £100,000 through the kindness of
many people.
The Peel Dip is an organised event for three specific charities, although it is apparent that some 'dippers' are using the event to raise money for other charities. Could the organisers ask that those taking part please support the three charities mentioned for 2012.
