No less than 17 brave souls braved the cool waters of the Mediterranean today and helped raise money for both the Calis Children's Charity and Animal Aid.
Well Done All

I have to admit to being very aprehensive about doing this splash but Diverbaz assured me that it wasnt too cold. Of course he lied !! lol. and I did think that I was having a heart attack at one point but I am really pleased that I did it and I would definately do it again...Its so good that The charities can get together and I think that this event will be combined again with AA next year..Apart from the charity members who took part we have to thank Jo and her friends again. Those who turned up for a swim for the fun of it. ??? and does anyone know who the woman dressed in a Santa outfit is please... Her husband said he would give us a donation if she braved it and as she did he gave us 250TL. We would love to thank her personally... Many thanks to AA who made the afternoon a really enjoyable one. Rimms our photographer extraodinaire who has a heart of gold so volunteered his lovely wife Chris.!!! but it WILL be his turn next year.!!! and to Erhan. Naylan and the staff at The Eyna who worked very hard to make our day special. Sorry about the sand all over the floors guys... Amounts raised will be given when it has all beeen collected.. More photgraphs on Fethiye times.. Andy thanks for the brandy. !!! Must say its so nice to work with you guys...

What a great start to 2013. We braved the briny and raised a lot of money for Turkish children and animals in need, for just 5 minutes in freezin water and a bit of effort, making our costumes.
I really wasnt up for it, as have a sore throat and cold but wasnt gonna back out and loose the sponsership money( a couple of whiskies before going in, did the trick!!). It was a real community spirit and lovely to see so many people on the prom. I would like to thank all my neighbours, friends and family and people I dont even know!! for their sponsorship and for those who jointly sponsored Mercury and I. Gonna spend all day in bed 2moz as still cant get warm!!!!

What my partner in crime didnt say is that she is staying in bed with the biggest bar of chocolate I have ever seen in my life but she was very unwell today so she deserves it. ... Wonder if that will get me a chunk of it.
-
Brillant day, enjoyed by everyone, great to have so much fun raising money, which both the animals and children will benefit from. We enjoyed it as much as you did Tinks. Lovely atmosphere and a big thanks to Nalan and Erhan for being such lovely hosts.

and does anyone know who the woman dressed in a Santa outfit is please... Her husband said he would give us a donation if she braved it and as she did he gave us 250TL. We would love to thank her personally...
hi the brave lady was my wife Jo, the two Oompa Loompa's talked her into it during an alcholic haze on New Years Eve at the Nil Bar, and being the ever loving husband I spent most of new years morning reminding her of her promise.
Well done girl very proud
