DUCK RACE

The annual Newton-in-Bowland Village Hall Duck Race was held on Monday 4th May 2015 at Newton Bridge.  It was a lovely afternoon after all the heavy rain that fell the previous day and was well attended by both locals and tourists from near and far, resulting in all the ducks being sold prior to the race.

People returned to the village hall for refreshments provided by the committee and to hear the winners announced.

3 local people won the money prizes with the remaining prizes being distributed locally and as far as Liverpool

1st prize  £100  Eileen Lewis

2nd Prize  £50  Susan Pinder

3rd Prize  £25 Mary McBride

Thanks go to everyone involved in the event, to Mr W Pinder for the use of his field and to everyone donating prizes.
