Members from the Solway Vehicle Enthusiasts Club had their charitable hats on when on the 26th of September they popped in from the wind and rain to Dumfries Academy to present a cheque for £200 to the Academy’s Da Vinci Decathlon Team to help with logistics and expenses.
The Team, comprising 8 members, aim to achieve their dream of entering the National Da Vinci Schools Challenge scheduled to take place at the Easterbrook Hall, Dumfries from the 4 to 6 October this year.
