At last, the waiting is over for local residents, as they can now add to their collection of colourful Saundersfoot New Year's Day Swim shirts with the unveiling of the fifth edition of the shirt.

Commenting on the history of the shirt, Martyn Williams, Saundersfoot Festivities chairman, said: "Initially we wanted the pubs and restaurants in the village to wear the shirt on New Year's Day itself in order to raise awareness of the event. However, once people became aware of their existence, they wanted to buy them.

"As a result, businesses approached us wanting to put their names on it.

"This then became an ideal way to raise money to help pay for the staging of the annual event.

"Five years and hundreds of shirt sales later, it has become the perfect stocking filler," he said.

The shirts have been worn by many famous people, including Gareth Edwards, Christine Bleakley, Ricky Tomlinson and Rhodri Morgan.

They've also travelled the world to glamorous destinations such as Dubai, Bahamas, Sydney and obviously Saundersfoot!
