Hide AdBetty was delighted by the generosity of everyone who went along earlier this summer.
She said: “Raising £4,000 was unbelievable; it’s the biggest total we have ever had.
“Every year it seems to get bigger and bigger.
“I can’t thank the people who came along enough.
“Every year we say we would like to raise a wee bit more but you don’t want to be too greedy.
“We just want to thank everyone who came along and helped in any way and all those people who went along on the day.
“We couldn’t do it without them.”
