DUCK racing is on the horizon once again at Great Yarmouth Waterways on North Denes.

The free family afternoon will see thousands of plastic ducks raced along the Waterways and takes place on Sunday, September 19 from 2pm.

The races will include major water obstacles designed by Selwood Pumps, as well as synchronised kite flying and a demonstration from the model boat club. Organising chairman Ian McCreadie, of SPP Group, a regular sponsor, explained Great Yarmouth Duck Races were carefully timed as a critical link in revitalising public interest in competitive racing as we look forward towards the London Olympics of 2012.

He added The Duck Races run on a far more economical budget with the Waterways, providing the perfect venue.

Money is raised by those wishing to buy a duck to compete with attractive cash prizes for the winners, and �45,000 has been raised for charity over the last decade.
