THE PENGUIN POST
January 30, 2015

Register is open until midnight tonight 
PLUNGE DAY
Weather Update

The safety of our Plungers is our top priority. With the help of WMUR, Hampton Police Department, Hampton Fire & Rescue and NH Fish & Game, we have determined that despite the cold temperatures, snow and high seas that this weekend will bring, we will be able to safely conduct both the High School Plunge and Penguin Plunge.

 

Please use your best judgement regarding the weather and driving conditions.  If you are unable to attend, contact the SONH Office to hand in funds and receive your incentives. 

What to expect
  • When you arrive in Hampton, parking is first come, first served.  
  • If you have not already checked-in, please go to the Ashworth.  Check-in is open from 9 am - 11 am.  Arrive early to avoid long lines. 
  • Once checked-in, head to the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom.  
    • Remember that you must have your wristbands to access the casino.
  • The costume parade will take place indoors.
  • Due to the weather, we will not have heated changing tents this year.
    • Plungers will stage indoors, inside of the Casino.  You will be grouped into "mini-waves" of 50 and escorted from the casino onto the beach.  
    • You will change into your Plunge clothes inside the Casino.  We strongly recommend wearing sneakers and wool socks in the water.  Please bring a small bag with your post-plunge clothes to change into.
    • There will be a place to drop your post-plunge clothes (warm, loose clothing is best) on the way to the water.  
    • You will be handed a towel when you exit the water.  
    • You'll be escorted back to your bag for a quick change into dry clothes then it's back to the casino.
      • You must change out of your Plunge clothes before you go back into the casino.
    • We expect Plungers in each wave (from the casino back to the casino) to be outside for only 10-15 minutes.   
  • After the Plunge, you can enjoy a warm meal, listen to music and hopefully win an award.
