The Starting Handle club has donated £3,000 of left over money from its postponed summer shows to support charities struggling in the pandemic.
Members of the vintage tractor club based in Smallburgh nominated East Coast Truckers, Cromer RNLI, Aylsham Royal British Legion, East Anglian Children’s Hospices, Norfolk Accident Rescue Service and the East Anglian Air Ambulance to receive £500 each.
The organisation, formed in 1973, is not for profit and has not been able to hold its usual summer shows due to COVID restrictions.
Any profit from the shows is usually donated to charity.
