Yet again we had a very successful race on bank holiday Monday 2nd May

The weather, as usual, was unpredictable with rain falling on the Sunday and Monday morning causing the water level to rise rapidly, very nearly taking the guide planks and a committee member downstream, all adding to the fun.

Thanks go to everyone involved in helping to run the event, to Bill Pinder for the use of his field, to everyone for the donation of prizes and cakes, and of course to all that sold and bought ducks.

Congratulations to the winners, of which there were 34 with the main prizes going to
