Three charities have benefited to a total of more than £6,000 raised by the Welsh National Tractor Road Run (WNTRR).

On Saturday 6 September, representatives from the Wales Air Ambulance, Cardigan First Responders and Crymych First Responders gathered at Awenfryn, Glanrhyd to receive £2,018 each, the proceeds of the charity event, which moves around Wales every year.

WNTRR co-founders, brother and sister, John & Anne Bates approached Dai Rees, who formed a small committee of Alun Owens, Keith and Kevin Evans, Sion Morgan and Peter Lewis, under the name the North Pembrokeshire Tractor Enthusiasts to organise the run.

The enthusiasts decided to support charities that serve the local immediate area of North Pembrokeshire and South Ceredigion.
