Sponsor a Duck at the Great British Duck Race!

Claire Price — Thu, 08 May 2008 14:07:00 GMT

The annual Great British Duck Race is going to be held on Sunday 31st August near Hampton Court Bridge at 12.30.

Why not go down and follow the ducks as they leisuring drift down the Thames, the finish is at Sherriff Boat Club at Albany Reach 1 km away. The RSPB will have a stand at the finish so why not come and say hello?

Can't make the race? Then sponsor a duck and donate your funds direct to the RSPB. Log onto the website below and find us in the charity listing - its really simple and easy to donate and takes just minutes.

We have checked out the safety of the ducks with the duck race organisers and have been assured that stray ducks are given zero tolerance - all ducks will be gathered up and recycled for next year's event.

Hope to see you there - even better if you make a donation!

Take the High Road!

Double Take

We have a fundraiser extraordinaire taking part in not just one but two national running events this year!

Stella Kench has opted to run in both the BUPA London 10k on 26th May and the BUPA Great North Run on 6th October and is donating all monies raised to the RSPB. Thank you!

Stella has set herself the target of raising in excess of £600 and needs the support of her friends, family and RSPB supporters to achieve it.

Congratulations Marathon Runners

The fundraising team at the Lodge would like to thank their two runners who took part in the Flora London Marathon on 13th April. They have both managed to exceed their targets of £1500.

Wendy completed the run in 5 hours and Richard in 4.5 hours, both are fantastic times and although they ached a bit afterwards (and both said it was REALLY hard work!) they were both thrilled with their results.

Perhaps this inspires you to take part in a run? We still have places on the London 10k (book by Friday 25th April!) and the BUPA Great North Run in October.

Marathon Runners On Target!

Our two runners, Wendy Johnson and Rich Graham, are doing sterling work with their fundraising for the RSPB.

From publicity events, running tombolas and raffles to getting everyone and anyone to sponsor them through just giving, they are both bringing the money in.

Their target is to raise £1500 each, so far both of them are well on track but can we help them beat their targets! How fantastic would it be if they could both raise in excess of £2000 each! Thats an extra £1000 going directly to supporting the RSPB - to put this into perspective this could support 1000 acres of nature reserve land for a year!

Every penny really makes a difference and you can show your support by sponsoring our runners go to:
