NEW YEAR PADDLING: welcome 2023 with a blistering 12-swat bare paddling!
It’s a Firm Hand tradition! A New Year paddling across a willing volunteer’s quivering bare buttocks: 12 hard swats timed to the chimes of London’s famous Big Ben clock in Detention Center. The crack of wood on bare skin and reactions of this year’s star, Essie Quinn, are a warm welcome to 2023. Even if we are a little late, we can still celebrate!
