Solva Duck Race
Easter
Monday 25 April 2011 start 3pm
|
|
This popular village event takes
place annually on Easter Monday at 3pm. The 50 'contestants', who all have
names, are launched into the River Solva at a point between the village
and Middle Mill. They then bob their way downstream to the finishing line
at the pedestrian bridge at the Foreshore car park. See past
pictures
from the day.

To buy a 20th share in a duck,
tickets are on sale for £1 from Solva Post Office (now at Bay View Stores,
Upper Solva) and at other businesses and all pubs in the
village and from committee members. All profits help the running costs of
Solva
Memorial Hall.
Winners for 2011:

2nd Monty 3rd April

The Gamlin play area
is close to the 'finish line' and is ideal for occupying the children
whilst the race is going on!
