Rotary's Godalming Duck Race and Fair 2024
Sat, Sep 7th 2024 at 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
The Duck Race is one of the ways the Rotary clubs in Godalming raise funds for Rotary causes.
The fair will start at 11am and run until 3pm with the first race at 12 noon and will be followed by a Proms in the Park concert at 5pm.
This year, the Duck Race & Fair will again be held in the Phillips Memorial Park in Godalming and will be followed by a Proms in the Park concert starting at 5pm.
The main charity we will be supporting is the Godalming & Villages Community Store (https://godalming communitystore.org) in addition to other Rotary causes such as Phyllis Tuckwell and Rotary Cut Out Cancer.
The fair will be open all day from 11am and the first duck race will take place at 12 noon with heats every 20 minutes from then until the grand final for all heat winners.
Rotary members will be selling tickets for the ducks in each race in local pubs in Godalming and the surrounding villages from the early July and they will also be available at Daisy Sandwiches at Godalming Station, The Richmond Arms and The Sun Inn. Heat winners will win £20 with prizes of £250, £100 and £50 for the first three ducks across the line in the grand final.
We are very grateful for the support of this event from Seymours the local estate agents for their continued support of Rotary events this year.
We hope to see a lot of you join us and have another great day just like the Spring Fair in April.

Fundraising
back We like to provide some financial support to charities and other good causes in their work, so we have a programme of fundraising each year for this purpose.
