Organiser of the event Nick Carter said: “The event went really well, we’re really pleased.

“Thankfully the weather held off for long enough because just after the event had finished the heavy rain started to come.

“It was a brilliant day and it was great to see the likes of Stan Ternent and Frank Casper showing their support too.”

“We still don’t know the exact amount because we’re still counting everything but we raised £250 from the raffle alone and we’re expecting it to be over the £1,500 mark.

“I’d like to say a big thanks to everyone that got involved and everyone who donated.”
