Get your Retford Lions Charter Day ducks!
Any mention of Charter Day immediately brings to mind The Lions Duck Race. Since its inception, the race has been a highlight of the day and this year will be no exception.
Lions will be in Kings Park initially selling yellow ducks. There will be two races as usual: Race one for the red ducks sponsored by local businesses, followed soon after by the traditional yellow duck race. You can buy your ducks before the race and on the day from the Lions’ stalls in town and sup-port the vital work of the Lions.
