The
Duck Race and Fete organised by St.Stephen's in aid of its Roof Fund was
a great success and raised £1,600.
Several hundred people came to the meadow at Bere Farm, where they enjoyed a wide variety of amusements, the climax being the Duck Race. Nearly a thousand ducks took part, competing for the first prize of £100. Crowds thronged the route, and many hazards faced them as they raced along the swirling currents, but most finished. The winner was owned by Michael Sheasby. |
