Morning all! Thank you all so much for making yesterday another amazing Boxing Day in Rearsby. The community support we get for this event is phenominal and it would be nothing without you all.

Huge thanks to everyone who donated prizes, pulled in the tug of war, entered the duck race, bought hot drinks on the day - all the money raised will go directly to supporting our fabulous village community.

Congratulations to both the winning tug of war teams - the Wet Bandits retaking the title for the men and the Rearsby Rivals victorious for the women.

Now, onto the duck race. We're not able to confirm the full list of prize winners yet as we're not currently in possession of a couple of duck sheets (still with a venue due to our admin error), however we can confirm the first 5 top prize winners ....

291 - Louise Tow - Weekend night stay for 4 (inc. dinner, bed and breakfast) @ Edgbaston Park Hotel
485 - Rebecca Lawrence - Round of golf for 4 @ Edgbaston Golf Club
475 - Sam Fergus - Leicester City FC Women’s Team 2024/25 Signed Shirt
