Welcome to the website for the
Wirral Boxing Day Dip 2011

What is the Wirral Boxing Day Dip?

The Wirral Boxing Day Dip is an unusual way of raising funds for charity by running into West Kirby Marine Lake on Boxing Day!

West Kirby Marine Lake is situated on the picturesque Banks of the Dee estuary at West Kirby, Wirral.

The Boxing Day Dip will take place at 11am, Boxing Day 2011 at the North end (Morrisons end) of the lake.

We welcome spectators at our dip as the more noise you can make, the easier it is for us to run into the icy water!

The event, now in its 3rd year (2011) is the brainchild of John McGowan, after he spotted a gap in the market in the Wirral to help local charities by doing something a little bit silly and the “Boxing Day Dip” was born.

The event this year is being kindly sponsored by Wood-N-Stuff

When you sign up to take part in the event, we will send you sponsorship forms, and set you up with an online fundraising account to help you raise funds.
