AT noon this Sunday, Redditch Lions will pour 2,500 numbered ducks into the River Arrow beside Studley Cricket Club and let them float freely down-stream. The first duck to cross the finishing line will be the winner of the duck race.
Tickets to hire a duck can still be bought for £1 each and will be available this Friday and Saturday at the Co-op food store in Studley.
On the Sunday at the Studley Cricket ground, prior to the race, tickets for duck hire will also be available. In addition, there will be some entertainment including, rides for the children, coconut shy and clay laser shooting. Food and drinks will also be available from the cricket club clubhouse.
Prizes for the first three ducks past the finishing line are £100 for first place, £50 for second, and £25 for third.
There will also be consolation prizes for 'also-swams'.
All proceeds will go to the Redditch Lions Club's Welfare projects.
