AYRSHIRE CHARITIES have benefitted from the 'note draw' carried out by the NFU Scotland Ayrshire Region and the Ayrshire Vintage Tractor and Machinery Club at their annual supper evening. A total of £1000 was donated on the night and split between The Ayrshire Hospice, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2019, and Whiteleys Retreat, a new charity which provides free therapeutic short breaks for children, young people and their families with cancer and life altering illnesses. Pictured here, from left, are Bernard Smith of Whiteleys Retreat, AVTMC president George Steele, NFUS Ayrshire's Christine Cuthbertson, and Martin Quigley of the Ayrshire Hospice
