Great Duck Derby - Sidmouth, Devon 2017

            Every summer, the Lions Club of Sidmouth stages a Great Duck Derby on the River Sid and this event usually takes place on the third Sunday in July.
In 2017 it will be on Sunday 9th July
The events will start around 2.00pm, by Sid Park Road bridge in the Byes, with the children's ( and parent's ) 'Duck & Spoon' races.
These are followed at 2.45pm by the start of the Corporate Duck Race with little red ducks.
The main Duck Race starts at 3.00pm when hundreds of yellow plastic ducks enter the River Sid from the Sid Park Road bridge and "race" downstream, jostling to be the leader.
The first yellow duck to reach the 'finishing line' at the weir by Waterloo Bridge, Salcombe Road, earns its owner the winner's prize.
Last year the 1st prize was £400, the 2nd prize was £100, 3rd prize was £75 and there were six £40 and ten £20 "swimmer-up" prizes.  Each year, the values of the prizes for the yellow duck Race 'winners' , are printed on the Race tickets .

The ‘yellow duck' tickets cost £1 each and are available from members of the Sidmouth Lions Club who, with the consent of the owners, will be selling the duck tickets in hotels and pubs around the town.
