THE December meeting of the Three Cocks Society took the form of a presentation evening when the major donations were made to local charities. The money was made at the society's Annual Steam and Vintage Rally at Boatside Farm Hay-on-Wye. A cheque for £500 was given to Mrs Barbara Gayther by Mrs Rosemary Deem who received it on behalf of the County Air Ambulance. Mrs Gayther gave an insight into the workings of the service. Mr Andrew Simmonds handed over a cheque to St Michael's Hospice in Hereford to Mr Mel Powell for £250. Hay-on-Wye Dial-a-Ride was the third charity to benefit this year. Mr James Powell gave a cheque of £250 to Miss Rosemary Lally. The money would be used for the daily running of this valuable service, which helps the senior members of the community. Prior to this local charities had already received over £800. Arrangements are already in hand for their next Rally on August 14.
