Carnival Duck Race - 2 August 2010
A very dry summer meant a serious lack of water in the brook for this year's Carnival duck race. Despite putting in the usual temporary dam, there was insufficient flow to build up any decent head of water. To the rescue came the Bradwell fire engine without which there wouldn't have been a duck race. We are extremely grateful to John Millen and crew for coming to our assistance.
Despite the difficulties a large crowd gathered to watch a duck race with a difference. We really appreciate the support of the village and also to the many visitors who bought duck tickets.

Even though a temporary dam was in place there was very little water flow owing to the very dry summer
It's time for the ducks bi-annual trip down the brook......we hope!
Lee, Kodge and Fudge - wellies not really required
Very little water flow means the ducks aren't going anywhere in a hurry

Assistance is provided in the shape of the Bradwell fire engine
And they're off
Further assistance is provided to get the ducks moving
The 'Dads eagerly await the arrival of the winning ducks. A slightly shortened course because of the lack of water

Bradda Dads vs Bradda Lads Carnival Football Match
Bradda Dads 2 - Bradda Lads 0
After years of nil-nil and 1-1 draws, Bradda Dads finally won a Carnival football match, despite playing a team with youngsters in it! Fudge played a blinder, even if the goals came off body parts other than his feet - they all count Fudge. Some new blood in the team helped.
The victorious team (left to right) Martin Riley, Mick Archer, Paul Tanfield, Nigel Ollerenshaw, Steve Lawson, Paul Karlsons and Darren Pembleton.
