A POWYS charity has received a boost following a popular tractor run.

The Llandrindod Wells Leg Club received £450 from this year's Llanddewi Tractor Run.

Route leader Stuart Ross recently presented the sum to Hilary Smith, representing the leg club.

The run was dedicated to the late Dot Bevan, known for providing homemade Welsh cakes to the tractor drivers in previous years.

This year's event took place on Sunday, August 16, and saw participants from Herefordshire and Ceredigion enter, along with local enthusiasts.

Beginning at the village hall, Mr Ross led the tractors on his Massey Ferguson 135.

His son, Owen, gate opening on his Beta enduro bike, with Barry Bevan acting as backmarker.

The route included a lunch break at Water Breaks its Neck waterfall and passed through communities such as Llanfihangel Nant Melan, Bettws, Cefnllys, Llandegley, Pales, and finally back to Dolau.

The organisers chose the leg club as this year's recipient due to Mrs Bevan's frequent use of their services.

The presentation was attended by Dennis Davies, Jane Bevan, Joan Davies, Owen Ross and Barry Bevan, who all watched as Stuart handed over the cheque to Hilary Smith and Roy Palmer, fundraisers for the leg club.
