GARGUNNOCK Farmers Club celebrated their 225-year anniversary by raising over £2500 at a Charity Barndance held at Old Leckie Farm, earlier this year.

Organisers reckon about 300 folks, young and old, came along to enjoy the fabulous Andy Gordon Ceilidh Band, Old Leckie Stovies and Big Davy’s Bar.

GFC chair, Bobby Macallister, was delighted with the success of the event: “The Club was established in 1794 not only to promote agriculture and innovation but also cheerfulness and good humour – and we certainly did that!”

Thanks to the great turnout and support from many people and local businesses four different charities will now benefit from £630 each – RSABI; the Edinburgh Centre for Neuro Oncology; the New Struan School (Scottish Autism) and The Gargunnock Senior Citizens Christmas Fund.
