The annual Duck race will kick off at 7.00pm at the Golf Course Bridge so if you still have to get a duck come along from 6.30pm.
Afterwards there will be a bonfire and BBQ at the beach (Toilets end) ad there will be a tombola, books etc and a treasure Hunt - win a fiver
Hopefully the rain will have passed over by then but no matter what we Scots canthole the rain

152 ducks slowly set off down Conie Glen Burn and with some coaxing by John Bakes when they took shelter at the side they soon got up speed and number 173 sponsored by Donnie McKerral was first to cross the line followed by number 8 sponsored by Hamish Taylor and third 85 sponsored by Janet Ferguson.
Inspite of the wet night we decided that it was best to go ahead but we had to ditch the bonfire at the beach and moved to St Blaans Hall.
It was just as well we didn't decided to go tonight (Monday) as the burn is far too high with the rain water from the weekend.
Many thanks to everyone who sponsored ducks, helped on the night and came along to spectate
we have raised around £650 which cnnsidering the night it was was great
