We would like to extend our thanks Richie and his crew of White Watch from the Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service (Official) for their expert assistance at our duck race last weekend!

The LFRS have always been a keen supporter of the duck race and we thank them for all their hard work in the community both saving lives and propelling ducks!

Thanks you!!

A HUGE thank you once again to Chevron Traffic Management for their continued support!

Parking in our little village can sometimes be a nightmare, but with the support of businesses like this we can alleviate the pressure!

Some GREAT photographs there!

Thanks Wigan Today for coming along! A pleasure as always!

The county line splits our little village down the middle, and its wonderful to see both sides come together at events like these!

Good Evening everyone. Wow. Wow. Wow.

What a quacking day! The sun was shining (mostly) and smiles all around. We would once again like to thank everyone that came out in force to support your local community!

The money from this event will go on to provide valuable skills for life though scouting and assist in finding the cure for cancer! So THANK YOU!

We would also like to thank Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service for their assistance and ALL of our generous sponsors who make this day possible!

And without further ado.... the winners!
