Sir, I would like to thank everyone who sponsored me in the New Year's Day Swim when I raised £2,700 for the autistic unit at Pembroke School. I really enjoyed the swim and am hoping to do it next year for the same cause. This will, however, be my last swim, but I am keen to participate as it is the swim's 25th anniversary. I would like to say a few special 'thank yous' to Texaco, Ledwood, Pembroke RFC, B6 Kier, and Simon Safety. Also a big thank you to Cally and her family and friends from Whitland and Simon Evans, who also helped the cause, together with John and Ceris, Paul and Kath, and Saundersfoot Bowling Club for their support, and T. Mac, Titchy, Michael and the boys from The Chemist. Last but by no means least, thank you to Clare and staff from the autistic unit and to everyone who kindly donated prizes for my summer and Christmas raffles.

Macky Brace,

New Hedges.
