STEVENSTON shopkeepers decided there was bravery in numbers when they took on a joint ice bucket challenge recently.

Pictured before and after their chilly endeavours were Townhead Street traders: The Don's Ink Tattoo team, with Daniel and Kim McLauchlan taking the challenge; The Cross Cuts Hair Salon team; Domenico’s Chippy – with Domenico Cocozza himself submitting to a soaking; The Cash for Clothes team – with Paul McIntyre under fire; Billy Attridge from Food Takeaway gave a thumbs up before regretting it. And finally Post Offic duo Manpreet Bawa and Ian Patterson.

Well done to all those who faced their fears, and icy temperatures.

See this week's Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald for a full gallery of bucket shots.
