Duck Race Results
19/04/2026
Thank you to everyone who helped with the Duck Race this year …
… especially those involved with the tickets, posters etc, those in the stream and to Sarah, Karen and Andrew at the Post Office. Most of all, thank you to all the families who came to enjoy this lovely village social occasion in the spring sunshine.
This was the 30th Duck Race and a strange meteorological fact is that it has only rained once on Easter Sunday during those 30 years! Do the ducks have special powers over the weather we wonder?
