Duck Race
Sponsor a duck and follow
its progress in the famous race through the culvert and out across “moat meadow”
next
to ancient St. Mary's Church. A dry spring four years ago created doldrum
like conditions with competitors unwilling to
leave the shelter of the culvert. However, heavy pre weekend rains might equally
create a white water event that
has us rescuing the ducks from the tidal reaches of Bridgwater Bay – we're
hoping for the mid-flow option.
Price: £1.00 per duck
Prize for the winning Duck: Andrew Barclay Duck (sufficient to feed 4)
Beer Festival
The Stag's Head is of course central to the whole event.
