Entry to the event is free, with all funds raised on the day going to Veterans At Ease and to support the sports pavilion.

This is one of a number of events that Trevor Gray, an ex-veteran, has organised in support of the charity and one that he holds close to his heart.

Rob Cairns, who is supporting Trevor with the event, said: “The event is free. All we ask is that people make a donation in one of the buckets.”
