We have 9 reminders of charity dippers who braved the waters on December 26 in years gone by.

Were you pictured dressed as a domino or Santa Claus. Did we get you on camera as you came back out of the waves after a freezing cold dip?

We have lots of reminders of dips from 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. Take a look and re-live the memories.
