Welcome to the Duck Race Page
Here you should be able to find all the information you need regarding previous and upcoming Duck Races.
We started running the May Day Duck Race at Loggerheads Country Park 5 years ago (back in 2005). Over the last 5 years it has grown in size year after year and is now the groups main fund raising event.
In 2010 we sold over 1800 duck race tickets (over 200 more tickets than 2009) and raised nearly £5000 from the event (which is an increase of 30% from 2009)
Sponsorship
Company sponsors are key to the success of the event and again this year we will be looking to increase the number of sponsors. In 2010 we had 12 sponsors, 9 sponsoring the duck races and 3 sponsoring stalls. If you are interested in sponsoring our event then please click on the ‘Sponsor our Event’ link on the left of this page. We have also included some information about previous events including ticket sales, advertising and event publicity.
Charities and Schools
As a community group we are very keen to involve local charities and schools with our event. If you wish to run a stall at our next event then click on the ‘Charity Stall’ link on the left of this page.
Stalls
As a group we run many of the stall ourselves however there are a number of specialist stalls, such as bouncy castle, climbing walls etc that we would normally contact local companies to run. If you are interested in running a stall then click on the External Stall link on the left of this page.
Next year we will be working with the Loggerheads Countryside Officers to run a number of activities throughout the day, including;
Dry stone wall demonstrations
A duck race trail around the country park
We are also hoping to include;
Army Inflatable Assault Course -
Climbing Wall -
Don’t forget all of the old favourites will be there too.
