Great British Duck Race - Sunday 5 September 2010
Molesley Lock, near Hampton Court Palace
Independent Age is now registered as part of the Great British Duck Race 2010!
Molesley Lock, near Hampton Court Palace will be filled with thousands of plastic ducks for the 4th Great British Duck Race. You can be part of this fundraising event and join in an attempt to beat the World Record of 205,000 ducks.
There is a massive first prize of £10,000 for the first duck across the finish line as well as a further 30 great prizes for the runners up.
Ducks cost £2, but Independent Age only recieves money raised over that amount, so the suggested price is £3. To adopt a duck for Independent Age, simply go to http://www.thegreatbritishduckrace.co.uk/o/independentage and click on the "Adopt your Duck" link and follow the simple instructions.
Each duck bought will automatically be entered into the online duck race, as well as the main race itself. Each month there will be an online duck race prize draw, and you can win a big cash prize every month. Your duck goes back into the online draw for every race, so you can win again and again.
