THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR OVERWHELMING SUPPORT.

It is with much regret that Boscastle School Association are forced to announce the cancellation of Duck Race Day 2020 due to the current restrictions regarding social gathering. This will be the first year since the late 1980s that this annual fundraising and social event has been unable to take place.
As you can imagine everyone involved in the school is incredibly saddened by this, particularly the children. Duck Race has always been an incredibly fun day for the school, community, and visitors alike. A time to come together and celebrate the school, the children, and their achievements throughout the year
In addition, last month we had planned to hold a ‘race for the fort’ sponsored event for the children. In early March, a team of parents cleared our sadly irreparable fort from the lower playground with a view to raise half of the funds needed (approximately £6000) to then replace over the summer. Of course, this event similarly has been unable to take place.
With so many friends of Boscastle School suggesting that, with the cancellation of our events, they would like to continue to support the school association and replacement of the fort; we have decided to hold a virtual Duck Race draw to be held on Sunday 5th July at 3pm.
We have opened the following Just Giving page;
www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/boscastle-school-association.
For every full £5 donated a ticket number (or ‘duck’) will be allocated (so if donating £5 you will have 1 ‘duck’ and if donating £30 you will receive 6 ‘ducks’). On the draw day we will use a number generator to give us our winners. Please ensure you enter both first and last name when donating. If you wish to remain anonymous but would still like to be in the draw please let Chloe, Sarah or Frances know your contact details or email boscastlefobs@gmail.com so that we can allocate you with your duck numbers.
Prizes are as follows;
1st number drawn – £50 local produce hamper or £50 cash
2nd number drawn – £20 local produce hamper or £20 cash
3rd number drawn - £10 local produce hamper or £10 cash
We thank you, as always, for your continued support and wish you the best of luck for the draw!
With all our best wishes.
Chloe Michell (Chair of Boscastle School Association)

4 years agoThank you so much to everyone who has so generously bought a virtual duck or donated to our event. We have raised an incredible amount in such a short amount of time! The initial target, to make £1000 of the £6000 we ultimately need to put towards the cost of replacement of our old fort, was so quickly met that we increased this to £1500. We have now been able to raise this again to £2000 and your facebook shares have played such incredibly important part in this!
