A herd of Tractors will be making it's way into Scarborough later as the Staintondale tractor club holds it's fist summer tractor run.
Charlotte Smith from the club, says the event will include 30 tractors both large and small.
Tractors and vehicles of all shapes and sizes decorated for the summer, will take a summertime drive through the villages and around the Scarborough area.
Starting and finishing in Staintondale, the route is approximately 20 miles. The route involves going through Cloughton, Burniston, Newby to Scarborough Spa.
A trophy will be presented for the best dressed tractor.
Charlotte says it's going to be quite a sight for residents of Scarborough and surrounding villages.
The event will be raising money for the Yellow Welly's farming charity.
Rising concern over the continuing high level of fatal and life changing Injury accidents on farms, prompted NFU Mutual to
set up a charitable foundation to help all farmers, and especially young farmers, work more safely.
The Foundation works closely with farmers, the farming unions and a range of farming organisations. To help reduce the toll of fatal and serious injury accidents which, regrettably have made farming the most dangerous occupation in the UK.
The Foundation's Yellow Wellies campaign specifically targets young farmers aged 16 — 40 years of age. Working closely with Young Farmers clubs, HSE, the Farm Safety Partnerships to raise awareness of farm safety among young farmers, challenge and change their attitudes towards farming safely and reduce the toll of injuries and fatalities which bring heartbreak and misery to numerous families and rural communities every
year.
Charlotte says the new club wants to help support the charity.
