COLWALL Rotarians are getting ready for this year's annual duck race, which takes place off Croft Bank on West Malvern.

The event is on Sunday, September 11, starting at 1pm, and there will be five races with prizes for the first, second and third in each one. Tickets are £5, giving buyers an entry in each race.

Jim Richardson of Colwall Rotary said: "We've held it for the last three or four years and it's a popular event. One of our members has a field with a stream running through it and we hold it there."

There will be barbecue and drinks available, and proceeds will go to Parkinsons Research and other Rotary charities.
