The Beginning We were asked by organisers of the Hull show 1999, if we would like to attend the boating pond to display our model boats, we came up with idea of a duck race?? And any proceeds collected would be donated to a local charity. We built some wired and wonderful quackers for the day’s event and every one enjoyed it, and since then the group has grown to what it is today, the Group have raised over £4800 for supported charities.
