Local farmer wins Stewart trailer in ANM Group charity raffle
LOCAL farmer, John Rogie of Netherton Farm, Tarland, has won the ANM Group’s 150th anniversary celebration star raffle prize of a PRO Series PS 18 23 kindly donated by local trailer manufacturer Stewart Trailers
Some £60,000 worth of raffle tickets were sold as part of the Group’s celebrations with the top prize of a Stewart trailer, valued at £32,000.
Tickets were sold the length and breadth of the country starting at the Royal Highland Show in June, with sales continuing at the agricultural shows throughout the summer and at special events leading up to the beginning of November.
All funds raised will see three local charities benefitting, including Abbie’s Sparkle Foundation, Charlie House and Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH).
Mandy Stewart, director of Stewart Trailers said: “Well done to the team at ANM group for raising such a fantastic total for three very worthy causes; hearing representatives from the chosen charities speak at the dinner on Saturday really brought home what a difference this fundraising makes.
“We are delighted that raffling the trailer has raised £60,000; when we donated the trailer, we hoped that the ticket sales would at least match the value of the trailer, so we are absolutely over the moon with the incredible total. We would like to thank each and every one of you who bought a ticket and made the trailer raffle the success it has been, the kindness and generosity of people is overwhelming.”
