LateRooms.com - Make a Splash at the Great Norwich Duck Race
A charity event with a difference is set to take place on the River Wensum in Norwich on August 29th.

NORWICH, ENGLAND, July 30, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Great Norwich Duck Race offers people a fun day out and the opportunity to help raise money for charity.

Due to take place at 16:00 BST on Monday August 29th, the event will see 5,000 rubber ducks released into the River Wensum at St Georges Bridge.

The race is organised by Norfolk-based charity Break, with each duck taking to the water for a minimum donation of GBP2.

Participating sponsors can then cheer on the yellow plastic competitors as they make their way downstream towards Fye Bridge, where the winner will be announced and prizes handed out.

With a signed Norwich City football shirt, meals for two and weekend breaks up for grabs, the race looks set to be a popular occasion.

The day will also include a corporate race, with local businesses encouraged to donate GBP100 to enter a 32 cm duck in the contest.

Special banners will be created on the day and a trophy presented to the winner.

Break is a charity that provides supported holidays, mental health services for women, mentoring schemes for young people and a range of other services.

People planning a stay in Norfolk hotels will find a wide range of options at LateRooms.com, which recommends the George Hotel Norfolk.
