It’s Village Street’s turn to be the venue for this years summer event.
A VILLAGE EVENT FOR ALL THE FAMILY
Put the date in your diary and watch this website for further exciting details as they become available (hopefully before the event !).
From noon there will be a “Duck Brunch” of hot food and drink from where the race starts. Not to be missed – at 12:30 there will also be a “Best Dressed Human Duck” competition and a draw at 1:15pm for the winner to start the race.
The race starts at 1.30pm. from the field at the corner of Village Street and Mill Lane with the duck competitors being launched just before the bridge. You can follow the whole race along the river, which is likely to take 45 mins., to the finish just before Sheet Mill in Old Mill Lane.
Sponsor a duck for £1 each with attractive cash prizes for the winning eight ducks!

£200 was raised for MacMillan Nurses and £200 for Rowans Hospice (in memory of Tony Luff “Luffy”)
Tickets were the usual paltry £12.50 and were available at the Queens Head.
Start attractions for the evening were:
Live music!
Karaoke!
Open mike hour!
The theme was London Underground
Another superb Village Party with a whole range of class acts on stage and in the audience but the Karaoke system must have been faulty as all it could say was “awful”. Johnny Rumble looked rather swarthy with his new face fungus and he and the Jam Jars got everyone on the floor as well as dancing!
