The Air Ambulance service costs a vast amount of money to keep in place, it relies on donations for a big part of the running costs. FMT donates £1.00 from each customer that hires out training materials for the theory test or other training aides. We have raised in total so far £1090, a big thank you to the customers that have supported this worthwhile charity.

A magnificent effort from all the customers at the Rock Inn, Glasshoughton, Castleford and a better effort from Wayne Stevens pictured below having a soothing and delicate body wax! Braydon Scott had his much loved Pony tail cut off and head shaved. Well done to you both.
