Duck Race 2025

Lochore Meadows, Sunday 7th September

The winners were as follows:

1. £100 winner. Duck no. 790. Name of Winner- Dean Farrell.
2. £75: 768; Angela McKay.
3. £50: 853; Chris Whyte.
4. £25: Jim Craig; 875.

The Race to include the Sponsorship from Wee Jimmies raised £3100 gross.

Expenses were the cost of 800 plastic ducks (the balance having been donated); a mosquito net; and a fishing net.

Hopefully the funds raised will suffice to allow the purchase, installation and initial maintenance of two defribillators in our Rotary Zone and leave a surplus for other good work to be undertaken locally.

A Grant Application was intimated to Foundation Scotland, for the Mossmorran Wind Farm Community Fund, for funding either in whole or in part for a defribillator hopefully to be located on Cowdenbeath High Street.

The result of the Application should be made known to us at the beginning of November.

Good news all round.
