The Ducks go Quackers

Great Lever Neighbourhood Event - Saturday 24th July 2010


Saturday dawned brightly in the Bolton Area, perfect weather for our hook-a-duck game at Bobby Heywards Park, Great Lever.

It was our second year of attending the Great Lever Neighbourhood Event, and the previous one had been extremely busy, achieving the record takings from the hook-a-duck game.

We arrived in plenty of time for the 12 noon start, and whilst the sky had clouded over, the ducks were still smiling (they have only one expression!), and they carried on smiling all afternoon, as once again they proved very popular as can be seen from the photograph to the right.

It is always nice to see so many families coming out on a Saturday afternoon, and although I had passed the park many times, this was the first time I had actually been in it, what an excellent park with many facilities.

The upshot was that we broke last year's record, and only had a brief shower, so it was an excellent day out. Thanks to my fellow Lions, Brian Mann, John Fairhurst and Tony Foster for attending the day.
