THE annual Amotherby Vintage Working Day took place at the weekend.

Held at Sleights Farm in the village, visitors to the two-day event included displays of vintage tractors, a threshing display and working binders, as well displays of cars and motorbikes. A tractor run around the local villages also took place on Saturday evening.

Andy Bulmer, one of the organisers, said: "We had a cracking day and weather-wise it was one of the best weekend's we've had. Everyone enjoyed it and we had a fantastic time."

The event raised £1,000 which will go to the Wilf Ward Trust, Marie Curie, Ryedale Mencap and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Andy said: "Next year will be our 40th anniversary and we are hoping to attract more sponsors to make the event even better."
