A charity Mouse Race, arranged by the Brecon and Radnor Branch of the Farmers’ Union of Wales, has raised £590.50 for Alzheimer’s Society Cymru and The Farming Community Network.
The well-attended event was held at Brecon Rugby Club on Friday February 9, with the mice keeping everyone on their toes with a few very close races.
Speaking after the event, the FUW’s Brecon and Radnor County administrative assistant Anwen Price, who arranged the charity night, said: “I would like to thank everyone for their support, sponsorship and the very generous donations we had for the raffle. It was a fun evening and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. The money raised is going to 2 worthy causes and we look forward to holding more of these fundraising events during the year.”
The County Office kindly thanks all the race sponsors for their very generous donations: McCartneys, The Royal Welsh Agricultural Society, Smithfield Tractors (Builth Wells), Ted Hopkins Ltd, Dave Powell (FUWIS) and all those who have donated raffle prizes, including Hay & Brecon Farmers, Price Farm Supplies, Carrs Billington, and to Brecon Co-op for kindly donating the produce for the Welsh Hamper, and Brecon Rugby Club for hosting the event and their raffle prize donation.
