Apologies For Late Cancellation Of Swim

Hello and a belated happy Christmas. I just wanted to apologise for the last minute cancellation of today’ traditional Boxing Day Swimming Race. Recent storms have left the River Winnet close to flooding and so a swim in the currents wasn’t advisable. The public have also been warned those living close to the river to take move to the upstairs floors in their homes as more rain is predicted. Race organiser (and MP) Hilary Benn says she hopes to reschedule the race as soon as the high waters subside. All the best, Mayor G. Grimsby
