Scarborough Lions have confirmed the traditional new years day dip will be back in Scarborough on Saturday.
It will be the first time in two years that the event has taken place.
Rob Hunter from Scarborough lions says there has been a good response from potential dippers.
As in previous years dippers are encouraged to get sponsorship for a charity of their choice. 75% of the money they collect will go to their charity of choice with the remaining 25% kept by the Lions to help those in need in the local area.
There will be prizes on the day for the best team fancy dress, the best individual fancy dress and the best child under 11 fancy dress.
Rob Hunter says it will be great to be able to continue with the tradition.
Registration will start at 10:30 on New Years Day at the Lions Minibus, there will be changing facilities available at the rowing club.
Dippers will then gather on the beach at 12:20pm with the Mayor judging the fancy dress at 12:30, the town crier will then start the dip at 12:45pm.
