WANDERERS' mascot Lofty the Lion helped the town to set a national record.

He persuaded dozens of his mascot pals from around the country to come to the Reebok Stadium for Mascot Mania -- a free event for the Mayor's Charity which also involved the mascots in plenty of fun and games.

At the same time, they all set a new world record for the number of mascots all together in one place at the same time. Deputy mayor Cllr Kevan Helsby, left, and Mayor Cllr John Walsh are pictured presenting Lofty with the official Guinness Book of Records' certificate.
