It’s The Clayton Vale Duck Race
By Jim Symcox on Apr 17, 2009 in Clayton Vale, Fun Stuff, Manchester
Yes folks, it’s that time of year again when thoughts turn to racing ducks.
Once again Clayton Vale plays host to a fiercely contested duck race where the ducks are dropped off the bridge near the Clayton Vale visitors centre and sent down the river to be captured further along.
The event is on tomorrow (18th April) and involves racing ducks, face painting and other fun stuff. As usual I will be in attendance with one, two or maybe the whole brood of children.
We’ll buy the services of one or more ducks in the vain hope that this year our duck gets the coveted winners laurels.
We’re hoping this lovely weather continues so we can also grab some sun as we watch the titanic ducky struggles.
If you see me say hello!
