A local fundraising rubber duck race has gone swimmingly.

The event helped to raise money for the 1st Armitage Scout Group and received support from sponsor Walton Homes.

A total of 1,000 ducks were purchased for £1 each, with the first three home winning cash prizes provided by the building firm.

Emma Simpson scooped the £100 top prize after seeing her rubber duck cross the finish line first.

Amy Summerton, director at Walton Homes, said:

> “We always like to support our local communities – and with our Acresford Park development based in beautiful Handsacre, we were more than happy to continue our ongoing involvement in the Armitage with Handsacre Village Day.  
>  
> “Congratulations to all the winners, and everyone who took part to make the day go so swimmingly.”
