VINTAGE car enthusiasts have helped put Operation Covert on the road to success with a generous donation towards our appeal.

Bridgnorth Vintage Machinery Club donated £200 as a thank you to district Scouts, who help organise one of its major rallies.

The club, whose members own everything from classic cars to steam engines, welcomes a great deal of members from Wyre Forest, said vice-president, Ken Briggs.

He explained: "We were aware of all the problems with Rhydd Covert and their shortage of money.

The club gives surplus money to the County Air Ambulance but, on this occasion, we decided to give so much to the Air Ambulance and give the rest to other charities nominated by members. Two of our members nominated the Rhydd Covert appeal."

He said the club was happy to help contribute towards the fund as district Scouts helped steward a rally held at Bite Farm, in Trimpley, in August.
