Dip in the Nip makes a cheeky return to Wexford to raise funds for two local organisations

This July, Dip in the Nip for both men and women returns with the men's event taking place on Saturday, July 19, and the ladies' event taking place on Sunday, July 20.
It's Good to Talk, are a Wexford not – for – profit organisation who offer invaluable psychotherapy and counselling services to the local community from their town centre base in Wexford's Spawell road will benefit from the men's event while the Hope Cancer Support Centre in Enniscorthy will benefit from the ladies' event.
The Wexford debut of the men's Dip in the Nip was last year and the event was very successful. The men's event last year raised over € 11,000, and the expectation is that the total amount raised will be larger this year. Men will bare almost all and will wear just a bow tie as they charge into the Irish Sea to raise funds and awareness for mental health.
'The men's Dip in the Nip is more than just running into the sea,' said organiser Bernard McGuinness. 'It's about stepping outside your comfort zone, letting go of expectations, and showing up for each other in the rawest, most honest way. We're encouraging everyone who dipped last year to bring a friend and help us double the impact in 2025.'
And it's not just about the money. The fearless participants take part, spark important conversations and breakdown mental health stigma, in a fun way.
'Mental health is something I care deeply about, which is why I was more than happy to take part in both last year's and this year's dip. The Bow Tie Dip in the Nip isn't just a brilliant fundraiser, it's a powerful show of community spirit,' says Leo Coy, an It's Good to Talk committee member.
'The atmosphere on the day is electric. There's laughter, connection, and a real sense that we're all in it together, and for a great cause.'
The event takes place at Rosslare Strand on Saturday July 19 at 7am. The following morning the women's Dip in the Nip takes place at the same time. Funds raised from this will support Hope Cancer Support Centre, celebrating courage, community and a shared commitment to both causes.
If you'd like to take part and are over 18, come along on the morning of either event. Participants will gather at the beach beside the Community Centre in Rosslare Strand from 6:00 AM onwards. The dip will commence at 7am. If you prefer to support from the shore, you can donate online by clicking here
Regardless of whether you're taking part, a supporter or just curious to check it out, all are welcome.

Corning (GLW) To Report Earnings Tomorrow: Here Is What To Expect

Glass and electronic component manufacturer Corning (NYSE:GLW) will be reporting earnings this Tuesday before market open. Here's what to look for. Corning beat analysts' revenue expectations by 5.8% last quarter, reporting revenues of $3.68 billion, up 23.7% year on year. It was a strong quarter for the company, with an impressive beat of analysts' EBITDA estimates and a solid beat of analysts' Optical Communications revenue estimates. Is Corning a buy or sell going into earnings? Read our full analysis here, it's free. This quarter, analysts are expecting Corning's revenue to grow 19% year on year to $3.87 billion, improving from its flat revenue in the same quarter last year. Adjusted earnings are expected to come in at $0.57 per share. The majority of analysts covering the company have reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days, suggesting they anticipate the business to stay the course heading into earnings. Corning has missed Wall Street's revenue estimates six times over the last two years. Looking at Corning's peers in the electrical equipment segment, some have already reported their Q2 results, giving us a hint as to what we can expect. Bel Fuse delivered year-on-year revenue growth of 26.3%, beating analysts' expectations by 10.1%, and Vicor reported revenues up 11.9%, in line with consensus estimates. Bel Fuse traded up 18.8% following the results while Vicor was also up 17%. Read our full analysis of Bel Fuse's results here and Vicor's results here. There has been positive sentiment among investors in the electrical equipment segment, with share prices up 6.8% on average over the last month. Corning is up 5.3% during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $56.25 (compared to the current share price of $55.40). When a company has more cash than it knows what to do with, buying back its own shares can make a lot of sense–as long as the price is right. Luckily, we've found one, a low-priced stock that is gushing free cash flow AND buying back shares.
