Brian Pascoe Memorial Tractor Run in Helston, Cornwall: photos

The Brian Pascoe Memorial Tractor Run was organised as usual by Bob Eustis on Saturday and saw tractors of all ages and models taking part.

The event was held to raise money for Motor Neurone Disease Association.

Although the weather was slightly temperamental at the weekend this didn't stop tractor drivers and the public from coming out to support the charity.

A total of £1,100 was raised for the charity, which supports patients and their families who are suffering from the condition or have recently been diagnosed.

Motor Neurone Disease Association treasurer David Maloret and MND associated visitor Christine Bungay also attended the event, along with Helston town mayor Tim Gratten-Kane.

An impresive 65 tractors turned up for the event which started at Helston Community College bus park, they were then escorted by Len Williams towards Lowertown, Trevarno, Carleen, Godolphin, Ashton, and then onto Porthleven where they paraded around the harbour where they were greeted with cheers from the public who gathered to see the tractors.

Once they had convoyed around Porthleven, they returned to Helston fairground when they enjoyed a free pasty from Cornwall Oven.

Bob thanked everyone for their support and especially thanked Cornish Oven for the pasties, Dave and Elaine Amberon for traffic management, Len Williams for escorting, and The National Trust for allowing the tractors to travel through Penrose.
