Duck race proves a success

WHAT a great time me duck! - The annual Rothley Duck Race was once again a big success, raising more than £1,300 for a trio of charities.

Sponsored by The Nottingham building society the ever popular event - which takes place in Rothley Brook - attracted more than 200 people.

The charities raising money were The Jake McCarthy Foundation, Alex’s Wish and The Tilinanu Orphanage, the latter of which also received a £50 bonus from The Nottingham after winning an eagerly competed duck race called The Robin Hood Challenge which saw the three organisations go bill-to-bill!
