The Great Duck Race 2025
This year the annual Great Duck Race that was co hosted by Shipston Angling Club and the Stour Valley Lions was a huge success!!
This event now in it's 12th year and it's 10th anniversary at the bridge in Shipston after starting in Willington originally. The sun shone and the hundreds of ducks ranging from full size Mallard decoy ducks in the corporate race to the original 200 ducks that started the race 12 years ago.
The crowds queued up on the bridge by the river and from the carparks to see the massive amount of races that went throughout the afternoon. Those that wanted something else could sit by the outside bar and listen to the live music put on by Bad Krispy, eating delicious burgers and drinking coffee from the coffee wagon. There was hook a duck, a fairground ride, face painting, ice creams and an a amazing tombola put on by the Fuzzy Duck.
The Fuzzy Duck were this years main sponsor and the support that we received made this event even more special with their input.
The profits from the day will go to The Shipston Home Nursing and FISH'n'FROLICS Juniors 50/50. We would like to thank all the volunteers that helped and to everyone who attended as well as all our sponsors and supporters.
As Chairman of Shipston Angling Club I would like to personally say this has been the most fun year and it was a treat to see so many happy people out enjoyed the day and we look forward to many more years like this.
