ORGANISERS of an annual charity tractor run hope this weekend’s event will break through the £100,000 barrier.

So far, the event has raised more than £92,000 for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and the 15th event on Sunday is expected to break through the £100,000 figure.

About 200 tractors will gather at Beadlam Grange Farm, near Hemsley, from 8.45am, setting off on their 50-mile run at 9.45am.
