Club president Peter Mitton said: "No-one who has witnessed the terrible scenes from the earthquake zone can fail to have been moved by the plight and suffering of the people there."
He thanked the people of Royston and surrounding villages for their support, and Tesco Extra for allowing the collection to be held at short notice.
