MADCAP charity fundraisers donned fancy dress costumes and went for a dip in the bitterly cold sea at Scarborough.

More than 20 people took the plunge yesterday to raise money for local causes. Scarborough Hospital workers, Bridgett Garvey-Winship, Janet Kemple and David Ford dressed as swans for the swim, while Andrew Barress dived in wearing a nun costume.

The event was organised by Scarborough Lions.
