OVER 100 people have already signed up for a Rotary 'Noody Dook' in Aberdour next weekend with spaces still left for anyone wanting to take part.
Skinny dippers will gather at Silver Sands beach on Sunday (May 12) for the fundraiser organised by the Carnegie Dunfermline Rotary Club.
A last call has gone out to anyone wanting to take part with prior registration mandatory for the event.
Last year, more than 130 people took part in the inaugural fundraiser which saw over £3,000 raised for good causes.
Organiser Lee Walls is hoping to better that this year.
“We hope that even more people will peel off and wade in this year," he said. "So we’re reminding those wannabe dookers who leave things to the last minute to get their registrations in now.

“And we’re also appealing to those who think they might like to have a go, but are a bit unsure, to take confidence from last year’s event, when the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
“As well as being a fund-raiser for all the good causes that Rotary supports, the Noody Dook will celebrate and promote the health and well-being benefits of cold-water therapy and spending time in nature in a supportive environment.
“So we hope lots of people will come and take part in what will be a personal challenge and a celebration of life, our bodies and nature. This event is about taking a risk, feeling alive and embracing a moment of pure joy and freedom.”
The event, from 6am to 8am, is open to anyone aged 18 or older, and participants need only get naked if they’re comfortable doing so.
Lee added: "In fact, participants might like to add to the fun by wearing colourful wigs, masks and face-paint or similar.”
The dip will be preceded by a (clothed) warm-up yoga session on the beach, and the dookers will be serenaded by a piper.

Most of the £15 fee will go to Carnegie Rotary Club to be used to fund the many causes that it supports. These range from helping to eradicate polio disease to supporting victims of the war in Ukraine, and helping disadvantaged people right here in West Fife.
Participants can also be sponsored to raise money for the club – or their own favourite charities. For more details, and a link to the Eventbrite page for registering, visit the Carnegie Dunfermline Rotary Club’s Facebook page.
