Quirky Quackers – Designer Ducks
AT THE RENDEZVOUS RUMPUS fun day in Rendezvous Street
Saturday 10th July 2010
A day of family fun, entertainment and market stalls. Events included a
fashion show, live music and an art auction. Other activities included a
bouncy castle, an alternative duck pond, food stalls, mime artists, plants and flowers on sale, art mart stalls, face painting, t-shirt printing with digital photos created by children and lots more.
The entire event was in aid of raising money for St Peter’s and St
Eanswythe’s Schools.

Quirky Quackers, devised by Deborah Crofts, attracted children of all ages.  The idea was to catch a duck, design a duck and then decorate a duck.  Plastic numbered ducks were floated in a paddling pool (an alternative duck pond) waiting to be caught and decorated.  Ducks were then entered into a competition where the one judged to be the best won a gingerbread house.
A fun day for all involved and £32 raised!
