2010 Duck Race Pictures
The Main Event at Easter
The three Mandurah Rotary clubs, RC of Mandurah, RC of Mandurah Districts and RC of Mandurah City, again joined forces to stage the second Mandurah Rotary Duck Race on Easter Saturday, 23 April 2011, in conjunction with a Rotary family fun day and fair, including stalls, entertainment and activities for families young and old.
Objectives include - to provide a family fun day at Easter to benefit the Mandurah community and visitors; give Rotary some positive public exposure; and to raise funds for the Rotary WA Cord Blood Bank and other Rotary projects run by the three participating clubs. For more info on the major beneficiary, or to make a tax deductible donation to the Rotary WA Cord Blood Bank see: www.rotarywacordblood.org.au

The tickets for the small yellow ducks were available to the public at $5 each as a raffle for wonderful prizes, including a car.
Tickets will be sold by Rotarians from the three Mandurah Clubs.

The Good Guys Corporate (Dressed) Ducks Competition
The larger (true size) ducks were sold to businesses, schools, community organisations, clubs and the public, for a donation to the supported projects, to compete in a corporate best dressed duck competition. Competitors dressed or decorated their ducks to their chosen theme. Competing ducks were on display on the day of the event in a marquee with judging towards the end of the event.
In 2011 we had a major sponsor for the Corporate Ducks competition.

Last Year's Event- Easter 2010
Last year Nearly 5000 ducks were launched into Mandjar Bay just off the main Mandurah foreshore from one of the Bouvard Cruises boats. They had a roped off area to traverse and the first 4 plastic ducks over the line won prizes. The race was somewhat extended in time due to the ducks refusing to get started in the right direction. With a bit of help from the canoe fraternity they eventually headed for the finishing line and winners were plucked from the water. Our thanks to David Templeman who was an excellent race caller and we hope he will reprise his performance when the event happens again in Easter 2011.
Corporate (Dressed) Ducks
The larger (true size) ducks were sold to businesses to compete in a corporate best dressed duck competition.

Thanks to the 120+ entries for dressed ducks event - a magnificent display of creativity, colour and ingenuity. The judges had a very hard task to pick the winners.
