Once each summer, rain or shine, we all gather by Sowcar Brook (off Ingersley Road) for the annual Duck Race! But it's so much more than just a Duck Race with sideshows and burger stands - you will find a whole afternoon's entertainment especially for the children!
This year it was held in glorious sunshine with a huge crowd attending. More than £2,000 was raised for the Cadets.
Adult, Children's, and 'Make Your Own' Duck Races - BBQ - Refreshments - Stalls and Games. A great day out for the whole family!
This event is generously sponsored by Barclays Bank who will match pound for pound the first £750 raised by this event!
