Mild weather and a good crowd contributed to this year's Boxing Day duck race. We are again indebted to all the duck ticket sellers and of course to all those who continue to support this event by buying the tickets.
We are also grateful to Sam Ojari of Sojari Productions for providing a short film shown above of this year's race. For anyone wanting to know the history of Bradda Dads, then have a look at the film. A duck race was how it all started in 1999. For a higher resolution and widescreen YouTube version of the film click on the 'Bradda Dads TV' link to the right. You can also double click the film shown above for a full screen version.
Thanks to Sam Ojari for his delightful film and if you're interested to learn more about Sam and his work, then follow this link
