The annual Easter duck race at Shide in Newport will take place on Saturday 8th April in aid of Aspire Ryde.
At 13:30, 1,000 plastic ducks will be launched under the watchful eye of Dickie Duck – the leader of the group.
100 special limited-edition Easter Ducks will also be given out on the day thanks to the kind generosity of Horsler Lifts.
The ducks can be bought at Wight Building Supplies, Aspire, Arch and Jewson’s in Sandown or online, here.
Ducks are £1 each and are available from https://www.totalgiving.co.uk/mypage/duckrace23.
All money raised goes to Aspire. The winning duck will win £50 with many other prizes up for grabs.
What a load of old shide!
Could they not find an environmentally alternative to a “plastic duck”?
