Charities on the south Shropshire border will be presented with the proceeds of a summer soap box derby.
The Richards Castle Soap Box Derby brings thousands of people out to watch assorted amazing contraptions race their way downhill near Ludlow.
Humphrey Salwey, the soap box derby committee chairman, said: “It will be a great opportunity for our local residents who support the soap box in June each year to hear more about how funds raised locally help support local charities and the services they can continue to offer to local people.” This year's events saw the second best ever gate sales and the committee are pleased to be able to support Orleton Recreational Trust, Marches Family Network and Ludlow Sight and Hearing Loss Groups as its three main charities.
