DROMBOUGHIL COMMUNITY DUCK RACE - JUNE 2012

 Meet Daisy! The latest addition to the Dromboughil Duck race which was held on Friday 29th June 2012.  She is the outcome of the skills of Ryan and Alfie Canning who did the wood work and Cecil Ross who did such a wonderful paint job.


Bouncy Castles always prove popular.
 The bigger the better!
