Duckathon

Picture
New for 2019, the Duckathon consisted of a race between eight hundred plastic ducks!  1st Walton Viking Sea Scouts  manged the Duckathon and ensured all ducks were retrieved after the race.

Ducks were sold for £1 each. Three cash prizes went to the winners with remaining funds going to the Sea Scouts 
.A large crowd gathered on the bank of the River Thames to witness Walton's first Duckathon. Local Liberal Democrat candidate Monica Harding started the race. The location of the finish line was determined after the start because of the unpredictability of river flow and wind!. The sight of 800 ducks took other river users by surprise. Enjoy the pictures!
