TWO local charities have benefitted from a recent stage production by the Ettrick and Lauderdale Young Farmers.

Last month a total of 25 members took to the Volunteer Hall stage in Galashiels.

And their fantastic production of Does Your Mother Ken? rightly received a standing ovation.

Ticket sales, a raffle and further donations led to £670 being raised for the charities, the Rowan Boland Memorial Trust and Hope for Life.

This week members of the Ettrick and Lauderdale Young Farmers presented cheques to representatives from both the charities.
