RELUCTANTLY WE’VE DECIDED TO POSTPONE THE BREAKFAST & DUCK RACE. THE PLAN IS TO HOLD THIS EVENT LATER THIS SUMMER. We had hoped at least to keep going with the outdoor duck race element, but on balance we think it is better to delay and hold the whole event later in the year.
Breakfast at 9am
£6 per adult and £3 per child 10 and under (please pre-book)
Duck race starts at 10.30. £2 per duck

We gather in the village hall at 9.00am for a delicious breakfast. After which we all make our way down the Filkins Road to the race starting point, the bridge over Broadwell Brook. Here the ducks are launched into the water, and begin their race downstream along the brook to the bridge on the Broadwell Road. People and dogs can walk the river bank to follow the progress of their ducks – the lead will change hands many times!
For £2 anyone can buy their own duck for the race (a small plastic one rather than the real thing at that price!) – each duck is numbered, and will have your name against it on the master list.
Prizes for the first three ducks home, but really it’s about the honour and glory of winning (and of course the taking part)!
It’s a lovely family activity and so do please come and join us (and at the same time help us to raise some money to go towards the Church Fabric Fund to help us maintain our beautiful church).
