VEHICLES with flashing lights adorned the Radnorshire night sky on December 18, but it wasn’t a hoard of emergency services attending a crash, but instead a gang of tractors participating in the
Penybont YFC After Dark Tractor Run.
The event was put on for the second year in a row as a charity fundraiser, with entry fees and proceeds from the event being split between the Teenage Cancer Trust and Birmingham Children‘s Hospital.
Tractors were shimmering bright with lights and inflatables, with one even dragging Santa around on his sleigh, as the parade travelled around Llandrindod Wells and surrounding villages.

“We would just like to say a massive thank you to everyone who supported last night’s tractor run,” Penybont YFC said in a post on their Facebook page.
“I’m sure you’ll agree to was an amazing night. If anyone would like to donate there is now a Just Giving page set up in the previous post. Money raised will be going towards the Teenager Cancer Trust and Birmingham Children’s Hospital.”

On the night organisers also hosted a raffle in the school car park before starting the run to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.
Participants met at 3pm for a 4.30pm set-off, from Crossgates Primary School, with prizes for the best decorated tractor.
Refreshments on the day were served by Annie’s mobile catering.
