An alternative ‘Virtual Duck Race’ was assembled in front of a small crowd, with 4 x heats and a Final race run, to determine the winner in the time honoured way of drawing tickets from a bucket .
Winner of the 2017 race, local Joan Graham, was present as the celebrity to draw out the overall winner for 2018 – a lady from Blackpool, who was delighted to hear of her windfall of £200!
Sincere thanks go to Ambleside Co-op branch for sponsoring the prize money and other expenses from their Local Community Fund.
A valuable £1588 was raised for Alzheimer’s Research charity. Thanks to all who took part. Hoping for better weather next year.
