Huddersfield Goes Quackers over Holmfirth Duck Race
Over 10,000 ducklings picked for this
year’s Duck Race are going through the paces to be the first
across the line for the £1000 cash prize.
Chairman of Huddersfield Pendragon Round Table, Alec Jackson
says “They’ve all been working so hard again this year,
bless. We’ve found from experience that the ones that paddle
in groups work best. So anybody out there looking to buy
tickets for the Duck Race should be thinking about getting
them in multiples of 5 to increase their odds.”
Tickets are sold by Tabler’s at the Co-op in Holmfirth,
Morrisons in Meltham, at local schools by PTA’s and through
various groups and organisations throughout the Holme
Valley as well as on the day of the race.
This year there will be a brand new event for area junior
school children to win a Nintendo 3DS. Children will be
asked to design the logo for the 2012 Duck Race. Judging
will be on race day at the Sands by Local MP, Jason
McCartney.
Over the past 28 Years for the Duck Race Pendragon Round
Table has raised a cumulative £270,000, with all proceeds
going to local good causes including the annual Christmas
Wish with the Huddersfield Examiner. |
|
Over £12,000 profit
made in 2011 for
LOCAL good causes.
