We held our annual charity event on the weekend of April 27th and 28th it was in aid of the fantastic Air Ambulance charity.
Despite the appalling weather we had a good turnout and raised a staggering £1150.00 which has been split between the east midlands counties air ambulance funds.
It was a brilliant weekend and a big thank you to all that came and supported it.
