Saturday 3rd April 2010

The Village Association held it's ever popular Duck Race on the Ritec river. Even though the weather was a serious concern, it made the duck race the best ever, with a great water flow and as a result a large crowd walked along the river bank cheering on their ducks. Prize money went to the first 3 winning ducks, plus the Childrens were invited to bring along their own ducks or bath toy to race down the river, this was very exciting because the children were able to follow their own toy to the finish line and it was even better than last year, with Easter eggs for prizes. Other attractions on the day were hot dogs, Teddy Tombola stall and Stalls, Tea, Coffee and Cakes and an Easter Egg Hunt, best yet........ down by the Mill.

A huge thank you to those who participated and especially for the helpers and those who donated cakes and raffle prizes, which made this event such a success.  "A fantastic" amount was raised from the Duck Race. Well Done everyone :-)
