Organisers hope to get a bumper turnout for duck race

ORGANISERS of Lymm’s duck race are expecting a strong turnout for this year’s event next Monday, April 21.

Members of Lymm and District Round Table have organised the event which starts at 12.30pm on Easter Monday.

There will also be a food fest at the Henry Street car park next to the youth and community centre from 10.30am.

“The Duck Race has become an essential family event for the community and this is one of the reasons why we manage to raise plenty of money for charity,” said Jon Beesley, Round Table member.

“We also rely on the support of local businesses either as main event sponsors who will get great exposure before, during and after the event, or corporate and super duck sponsors.

“As with last year, the owner of the winning super duck will be able to nominate a charity that we will donate £1,000 to, with £250 going to the charity of choice of the corporate duck winner too.”

Racing duck tickets can be bought online at lymmduckrace.co.uk.

Alternatively, tickets are on sale by The Cross, Lymm, on Saturdays preceding Easter Monday and you can also buy them on the day.
