Duck race raises almost £2.5k

There was an interesting addition to the annual duck race which was organised by the Fire Station over Easter Weekend.

As the rubber ducks were being released, the latest real ducklings to call the canal home appeared with their mother to show the way.

The event was well supported by the town who turned out in force to raise a whopping £2428.35 for the Kids With Cancer charity.
