2500 rubber ducks race down the Porter Brook for charity

People gathered at Endcliffe park today, to watch 2500 rubber ducks race down the Porter Brook. The event, organised by the Friends of the Porter Valley was raising money for the Forge Damn Restoration Project. People were assigned a duck, and the first 40 ducks to reach the bottom won prizes. It was the eighth year of the annual event on Easter Monday, and organisers were hoping to beat the ten thousand pounds raised last year.
