THEY'RE OFF!...
The ducks aren't, but the tickets are on sale.
Please reach out to any members of the Rotary Clubs of Leicester De Montfort and Bradgate Rotary that you might know.
And if you don't know any, please call 07951 972914 and Jim Matthews will be happy to arrange a sale to you.
The duck race will be held during Knighton Park Show, whose organisers, the Friends of Knighton Park, will receive 10 per cent of any profit the Rotary clubs make from this race. Other charities chosen by the Rotary Clubs which will benefit are Vista (which supports blind and partially-sighted people in Leicester), Baby Basics Leicester (which helps families with young children) and Mind (which provides help to local people with mental health problems).
If you want to know more about how you can help these charities, please message us through this Facebook page or call 07951 972914.
You can do it easily buy buying ticket(s) for the duck race. Each ticket costs £2. The 'owner' of the first duck across the finish line will win £75, second prize is £50 and third prize is £25. There will be many other prizes donated by generous companies and individuals.
Whether you buy tickets in advance or not, we'd love to see you on the day... Put it in your diary now... Sunday, September 7. Knighton Park will be packed with dozens of stalls offering food, fun and friends meeting one another.
