Santa(s) dive Vobster Quay - 22nd December 2007
Ok guys, as one last dive before christmas a group of us are doing a dive (or two) to raise money for the RNLI. Although its not an ordinary dive as everyone is going to be in father Christmas costumes (or at least something christmassy!). So far we have the following jolly participants...

If you're going to give money to charity this christmas personally I'd suggest giving it to a cancer or childrens charity (my personal opinion). But...

If you have any left over then I have set up a fundraising page via Justgiving that sends any received funds straight to the RNLI, Justgiving - Scuba Santas Fundraising Page

Just to prove I have the santa outfit already then here's a shot of me at the Cardiff Santa dash today (afterwards so looking knackered):



I have a spare outfit from last year if anyone is in need of a Santa suit, but you can pick them up from most cheap stuff stores (i.e. poundstretcher, etc).

Hope to see you lots of there, GLOC has offered to do the photos so if you're a tit in the water and would like someone to make you look like a decent diver he'll probably be the guy to do it


Merry Christmas, Lloyd.

I may be there to do a dive in honour of the Winter Solstice (22/12 this year)
So no Santa suit for me... But I may have a drop of Mead with me!

Santa fundraising at Vobster 22nd Dec
Excellent idea and the charity angle is great. For every diving Santa, Vobster will give a fiver to the RNLI.

Happy Christmas,

Tim

PS I wasn't dragged, I was pushed.

Son, you're going to have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming aircrew. You can't do both.

The aircraft limits are only there in case there is another flight by that particular aircraft. If subsequent flights do not appear likely, there are no limits.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for that, much appreciated. Did you get the email I sent regarding this a few weeks ago? If not please could you get in touch via PM/email/my website,

Looking forward to this, we put up xmas decorations in our santa outfits last night (tradition in our house) so getting very festive (festive in a christmas way, not a gay way ).

Well done to all you guys volunteering, Lloyd.
