TRC Chairman, Mark Jones presents the Mayor of Torfaen, Councillor Robert Jones with a cheque for his chosen charities PROGRESS Prostate Cancer, Breast Cancer Wales and the British Heart Foundation.
£1300 was raised at the Mayor's Charity Show on Sunday 18th April. Our thanks to all those who worked hard to make the day successful including those who performed the most menial tasks such as clearing the field of rubbish, loading and erecting the jumps and marking out the field with poles and ropes. Many more were involved in the organisation of the event including the judges, stewards and announcers and recorders in the 'Canary' and to those we extend our appreciation of their efforts.
