The funds were raised from a record attendance at the club’s annual Crathes Vintage Car and Motorcycle Rally last May.

“The rally attracted over 350 vintage and classic cars and motorcycles this year and a significant increase in visitors, making it one of our most successful rally ever,” said rally secretary, Rotarian Neil Booth.

Clan Cancer Support has recently opened a new support and wellbeing centre at 16S Bridge Street, Banchory, and is committed to providing local support in the Deeside area for anyone affected by cancer.

“Clan Cancer Support was delighted to have been chosen as the main beneficiary for this year’s Crathes Rally,” said Mike Wilson from Friends of CLAN Deeside.

“It was a fun day with hundreds of vehicles on display as well as childrens’ entertainment, music, and international food stalls.”
