A RACE night in aid of the Mayor of Redcar and Cleveland's charities takes place this weekend.

The event has been organised by the David Fox Transport Social Club and takes place at the Whale Hill Social Club, Birchington Avenue, Eston, Teesside, at 8pm on Saturday night.

Councillor Vilma Collins chose the lifeboats at Redcar and Teesmouth as well as St John Ambulance as her charities for her year in office and she will be at the event to present prizes.

Tickets are £2.50 and include a pie and peas supper. People are being asked to sponsor a horse for the night.
