Tractor efforts raise £2105

TRACTORS filled the roads of lower Annandale on Sunday - for a good cause. A charity tractor run was held in aid of the North West Air Ambulance service. It was organised by Peter Hornby, of L&P Motors, and was a 30-mile journey starting in Eastriggs. They then moved through Brydekirk and stopped at Powfoot for lunch, before passing through Annan and returning to Eastriggs. After returning, a raffle was held with a variety of prizes to win, all donated by local businesses and organisations, including Trust Ford, NPA Car Parts, and I&P Motors.
