FOUR worthy charities are the beneficiaries of the Tamar Valley Vintage Club’s successful tractor day and country fair in September.

A lovely sunny day brought in a great crowd of visitors who came to enjoy all the rural activities provided — shire horses ploughing, corn cutting to threshing to flour, lots of tractors and cars from vintage to modern, great food and the ever popular dog show.

The club was able to present cheques of £800 to each of its four charities, Myeloma UK, the Brain Tumour Research Campaign, East Devon Cystic Fibrosis Quality of Life Fund and St Peter’s Church, Lamerton.

The club was also able to give £350 to the West Devon Explorer Scouts who ran the day’s car parking and children’s games. The organisations were presented with their cheques at a recent cheque presentation evening.

Ian Minshull, club chairman, said: ‘On behalf of the committee I would like to thank all of our volunteers without whom we would not be able to help these charities.

‘We are already planning next year’s event which will be held on Sunday, September 18, 2016. We will be choosing different charities, all of which have helped members of our community and hope people will join us for another great country fair.’
