OVER the Christmas and New Year period, Pembrokeshire County Council Chairman Wynne Evans, braved icy seas with hundreds of others to take part in the sponsored swims at Tenby and Saundersfoot.

Ralph and Venetia Dunbar from the Narberth branch of the BHF went along to County Hall where they were delighted to be presented by Councillor Evans with a cheque for £229.84
