Please see the below from Thame and District Round Table:
Wow! Just Wow. Thame, all the local and worldwide support, everyone...…you have blown us out of the water again.
The Duck race was fantastic and the weather held off.
We raised over £3500 which will be shared between local groups!! The winners have been contacted via email.
Right, deep breath, we have some thank yous to make; without this support we wouldn't be able to make events like this so successful:
Lowland Rescue Oxfordshire - amazingly they volunteer to get in the river to guide the ducks to the finish line. They are amazing and do amazing things
Rubicon Drones - who used one of their drones at the race to take some great footage of us
Simon and Danny Wyse - who maintain the field and mowed the path so that we could all spectate and get a good view of the Ducks
Nathan Swift - being a compere for these events is a big task and requires a big personality. Who better to have than our own celebrity: Swifty
The Partners of Roundtable - they provide front of house skills, logistical support, and generally put up with us devoting a weekend to pouring beer and chasing plastic ducks down a river
Thame Cricket Club - for allowing us to use their facilities for cleaning the Ducks
The Duck Washers! - it's no easy task washing and sorting all those ducks and without their help, we'd probably still be cleaning and sorting them well into July!
Captain Ducky - for being the best Pirate, building a great boat, and for getting wet in the river
Everyone from Thame Roundtable, Thame 41 Club and our Area Chairman Darren Hunn - it's tough but immensely rewarding being part of these events
And last, but by no means least - you! Everyone who bought tickets, quackers, and showed up to support the race. It wouldn't be an event without your support and we really appreciate you being there and having fun with us
Right, the ducks are having a well deserved rest. Pre-season training starts in the winter. We'll be quack next year!
