In the Summer, the club hold a social event with bar and refreshments on the Middle Rasen Playing Fields. Normally there are a number of races in the river adjacent to the field. Unlike the NYDay event when you "own" a duck for the race, in summer its like a horse race where you back one or more of the ducks ! Assuming the river is safe, decoy ducks are launched along a stretch of the River Rase with those who backed the winning duck sharing the proceeds. This summers event will be on Sat evening during July.
