A GROUP geared up to ensure that free Lymm events take place throughout the year is all ready for action.

Members of Lymm Events Management have been kitted out in new hi-visibility wear to make sure they don't come to any harm during the events.

Last year's duck race fell fowl' of more stringent rules regarding road safety.

Sean Kerfoot, director of Lymm Events Management, said "This pro-active step was initiated by Lymm Parish Council, to ensure all of Lymm's events continued with safety being its priority.

"We were instrumental in reving this year's duck race."
