We’ve been able to donate the last two years worth of money, it takes gathering in! But immensely proud to be able to say the little hay show in Croglin has been able to send a MASSIVE £4,100 to help keeping the wonderful Great North Air Ambulance Service in the air and help give them ability to service the rural community.

Well done everyone and a massive thank you to our sponsors and each and every single one of you who contributed in anyway!

All this wet weather should allow you to get the hay bobs greased to make next years competition hay!
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!
