FANS of vintage farm machinery were in heaven at the seventh annual ploughing match at Rokeby on Sunday.
The event, organised by Peter Moss on Ewebank Farm, raised £600, of which £200 will go to Brignall Church and £400 to the Great North Air Ambulance Service.
Mr Moss said: “We have had the air ambulance on this very field twice this year and numerous times in the past because the A66 is such a dangerous road. It’s for a very good cause.”
