Wymeswold Duck Race

WYMESWOLD VILLAGE PROJECT FUND GRANT APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN🦆

The Duck Race Committee are delighted to announce that we are able to offer a grant of up to £300 due to the success of this year's Duck Races. We'd like to thank everyone that helps make it happen and to everyone that came along to support the day. These grants are as a result of the profits raised on the betting races, BBQ, stalls and games.

Applications are invited from properly-constituted community and voluntary groups for activities not conducted for profit. Grants should be towards a new initiative or project (rather than general running costs) and there should be an identifiable benefit to people residing in the parish of Wymeswold.
The organisation or project must be based in the Parish of Wymeswold or carry out activities (other than fund-raising) within the Parish.
To help us assess your application, please complete this form to give us more information about your organisation and your project.
The final date for grant applications is 30th June 2025, and the Awards Panel meets in mid-July to consider the applications.🦆🦆

Big Thank you to all that ran the waddle, those who completed the fun run, ran the Tough Ducker course, those who simply ate burgers or drank a couple of pints and those big gamblers betting on the ducks….. all the proceeds will go to local Wymeswold charities/groups!

And finally a big thank you to our performers, Luke’s team at the windmill, all the volunteers, Jonny & David on comms! A wonderful village day to kick-start the summer!

Thank you all!

And the ducks can rest up until next year 🦆🦆🦆🦆

Only a week away until our Ducks reappear for Wymeswold Duck Races 2025….🦆🦆🦆

For many years now our good friend of Wymeswold, Vic Lorrimen has arranged with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight organisation a visit from one of their many wonderful WWII aircraft. This year is no exception and weather permitting we have a visit from one of their Spitfires (roughly 2.58PM Duck Time!).

For children (and all us older children at heart) we thought you would like to see the Spitfire ahead of time and learn more about their stories….

Which one will it be….?

Also attached for those really interest is a link to the BBMF media pack so you can also learn more about their pilots too….
