The race will now take place on Sunday 25th September at Westgate Gardens at the same time of 1.00pm. Please also note that a limited number of ducks will be available near the entrance to Westage Gardens for sponsorship before the race on race day – please get there in plenty of time to avoid disappointment.
Commenting on the postponement, the President of Canterbury Rotary Club, Tony Loughran, said: “Whilst we live in very different times from when Elizabeth II became Queen it was felt that going ahead was the not the right option when we could seek a short postponement”. He added: “The Rotary Club is grateful to Canterbury City Council for promptly agreeing to the postponement and it will now be held on Sunday 25th September at 1.00pm”.
