Rotary ducks take to water

THIS year’s Great Annual Exe Valley Rotary Duck Race will be taking place on the River Lowman on Sunday, October 17.

The race is best viewed on Lowman Green, and the proposed duck launch time is 11am.

Entry tickets are £1 each with a tidy cash prize for the winner and an oven-ready duck for the runners up.

To enter look out for Exe Valley Rotarians in their canary yellow tabards when shopping at the various Tiverton supermarkets over the next few weeks, or go to the Bridwell Park Country Fair on Sunday, September 5, at Uffculme where members of the Rotary Club will be manning their stall through the day.

Late entries may be bought on the day of the Duck Race at the finishing line at Lowman Green, prior to the launch of several hundred ducks and business balls.
