Well done to everyone who waddled with us on 8^th May at the Storrington Village Duck Race

Raising a staggering £5792.43 for Storrington First School, the 2016 annual village Duck Race has been applauded as one of the best by everyone who came and the sun certainly did shine for the occasion.

Put on by the friends and family of Storrington First School alongside the ever-eager teachers and a fair few helpful pupils too, the day was a triumph of food, fun and feather flapping fast-ness as the Ducks raced for a place in the last race and the chance to win cash prizes.

Stealing the show as ever was the sizzling Dad’s BBQ where a record number of burgers and sausages were hand served to a never-ending queue of eager eaters happy to wait in line for a feast from the fathers.

The cake stall gave the BBQ a run for its money this year with the table struggling to take the weight of all the home made treats and tasties to put Mary Berry to shame….it seems Storrington really does have bakery talent.

“We are delighted with how everything went this year”, said the organising team.  “We would like to thank everyone involved, who helped in any capacity, and all those who came along to support us again this year.”  “All proceeds from the Duck Race will go to Storrington First School and it’s such a worthy cause supporting our children in their learning and development. It’s a delight to be able to create a fun day like this knowing how valued it is by the community. Roll on 2017….”

If you are looking for a fun-filled family day out this May, the annual Storrington Village Duck Race promises  thrills &  spills as the Ducks race to glory alongside a great range of entertainment for all the family.

Join us from midday on Sunday 8th May at Riverside Walk and Library Car Park to race ducks and raise money for The Friends of Storrington First School.

There will be the regular hotly contested 6 Duck Races; the top ten placed ducks from each of the first 5 races being entered into the final race of the day. Ducks for each race can be bought in advance or on the day from the many volunteers in the village in the weeks leading up to the big day. Cash prizes are on offer for the winning ducks.

To add to the entertainment, there will be fun-fair rides and face-painting, craft stalls and gourmet coffee as well as bric-a-brac and the ever popular Dad’s BBQ which will this year be given a run for its money by a mouth-watering cake stall.

All proceeds from the Duck Race will go to Storrington First School.
