Rubber Duck Race on Monday!!


This Monday there is a rubber duck race in the River! It starts at the pub Mill on the Exe, which is in St Davids, and finishes on the Quayside! The race begins at 11am, so get there nice and early! There will also be a BBQ and some entertainment, with all money going to the local Cystic Fibrosis Charity, so for a very good cause also. Apparently, the history of this race stems from an event in 1992, where a ship transporting rubber ducks lost 3 of its huge containers, which forced around 29,000 rubber ducks to be washed into the Pacific Ocean! They all ended up in various places, from Indonesia to South America, Alaska and Russia! Come with a camera!
