Lunching ladies of Llanidloes who have raised an incredible £15,000 for just over a decade for various local good causes have presented a cheque to the town's youth club.
The successful Ladies Day held earlier this year raised £1,121 which was divided between the Meningitis Now charity and Llanidloes Youth Club.
A collection tin gathering donations on the day also raised £45 for the Urdd Eisteddfod which will be hosted by Montgomeryshire next month for the first time in more than 30 years.

Helen Woosnam, committee member, said: "The committee, who have organised the event over the last 11 years, have raised a total of £15,000 for local charities.
"They wish to thank all the ladies who have attended, all local businesses for their kind raffle and auction donations, Elaine Jones and Llanidloes Rugby Club."
