A dash-and-grab raid on Sainsbury's supermarket netted Matthew Crowther with a trolley full of free shopping on Sunday.

The Keighley man won a trolley dash competition organised by Keighley Rotary as part of its campaign to raise cash for a 'life education' caravan.

The group raised at least £750 towards the ambitious project, which aims to keep children away from drugs and alcohol.

Mr Crowther was one of hundreds of people who bought raffle tickets for the dash from Rotary members in Sainsburys the previous weekend.

The life education caravan is a Millennium project organised jointly by the Keighley, Bingley and Bingley-Airedale Rotary clubs.

Each club is running separate events - including Keighley's recent antiques evening - as well as a joint car rally on July 4.

The caravan will travel round local schools and enable teachers to help their pupils learn about healthy living and the human body. The children will also learn about the possible dangers to the body from drugs, inhaled substances, cigarettes and alcohol.

Rotary president Michael Ward says: "The teaching is fun, is not dogmatic and helps youngsters to think for themselves. The caravan costs about around £60,000 to buy and a further £30,000 a year to run, and can educate about 15,000 children each year."

The classic car rally will be held at Higher Heights Farm on Lees Moor, Keighley, alongside an Open Garden event and barbecue. TV and radio presenter Joe Maiden will answer questions on gardening and there will be a sheepdog demonstration, car trade stands, bar and art exhibition.

Tickets for the noon-5pm event cost £3 from Stables butchers on Skipton Road, Keighley, or phone 01535 273649. Under-12s are free.
