PROVOST Ian Clarkson and the SNP’s Dr Philippa Whitford MP went head-to-head at Irvine Beach over the weekend to raise money for two charities.
After a challenge from Mr Clarkson at the recent Civic Pride Awards, the Labour and SNP rivals both agreed to get in the sea on Easter Saturday to raise much needed cash for the Ayrshire Hospice and Cash for Kids.
Mr Clarkson said: “It was cold, and it was wet, and it was very challenging, but I am delighted I managed it.
“The winners are Cash for Kids and the Ayrshire Hospice, who benefitted by hundreds of pounds.”
Dr Philippa Whitford said: “Having reached my sponsorship target, I was obligated to wear my Easter Bunny suit, which was brilliantly matched by the Provost who turned up in a Pokemon outfit.
