BEACHCOMBERS at Redcar may make an unusual find - the mayoress's medal from her chain of office.
Dozens of people took part in the annual Boxing Day dip at Redcar. Among them were Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council's Mayoress, Brenda Forster, and Mayor, Eric Jackson, who were dressed in Victorian-style clothes.
They were raising money for Teesside Lions Club, in aid of local, national and international charities, as well as a share for the mayor's charity fund.
But the mayoress was knocked over, losing her glasses and the medal of her civic chain. Mrs Forster appealed for anybody who finds the medal to come forward but said that overall the event was a major success.
