The race started at Warren Evans Court, Whitchurch at 7 pm. Over 200 ducks were sold (some twice!) All ducks were recovered safely after navigating the tortuous waters of the Whitchurch Brook and no spectators, members or children were lost, injured or infected (phew). Three monetary prizes were passed on to the winners (Nicola Pauline and Tilly).
Thanks again to
all who contributed by selling ducks, clearing the Brook on Thursday
or helping at this well attended event on Friday evening. We raised a
net amount of £551.83 from the Whitchurch events on Friday and Saturday: Duck Race £370 (after prizes and costs), Tombola £200, Roll A Coin £24.31.
£200 has been given to the Whitchurch Community Association and the rest (£350) will go to our Rotary Charities for this year.
The pictures show the Duck race in progress and the tombola stall on Saturday afternoon.
