THE Mike Moyle Christmas Day fundraising swim for Bude Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC) saw hundreds of people gather and brave the waves at Crooklets.

The ‘no wetsuits’ swim, which started at 11am, attracts around 500 participants who dash into the sea, whatever the weather.

Bude SLSC provides qualified lifeguard safety cover, mulled wine, hot chocolate and sausage rolls free of charge.
