Duck Race Fundraising

So in competition with England versus Germany in the World Cup, yesterday was a very busy day, preparing and running a series of fundraising events in and around the villages of Midgley and Luddenden. This included a family treasure hunt, a duck race, cream teas and a competition for the best collage from all the treasure collected. Some interesting pictures including one with a large potato stuck to it (the competitors needed to find something that was perfectly round among other things!). Fortunately, the weather was fantastic, and the duck race was a success in the sense that we counted them all out and then counted them all back. There were three lucky winners and the younger children thought it was fantastic wading about in the water to collect the stranded ducks from up stream. There was also an interesting display by the Luddenden Conservation Society in the churchyard of pictures of the village and surrounding area. Quite a lot of passers by enjoying the scenery and also avoiding the football but not in the picture above taken when we were setting up!
