Duck Derby

frisbee!

Has any1 been involved in organising a duck derby?
- if you dont know,its a fundraiser where people ' adopt' a rubber duck and all the ducks are let loose in a river and the 1st to pass the finish lines wins its owner a prize.
Im trying to organise one for my sports team and am unsure if a would need permits or permission or somethin to run this, and from who?
all advice welcome!

this isnt neccessarily restricted to dublin,just wasnt sure were to post it

One has been held annually in Balbriggan since the 1980s.



There was a gap of a few years where it didn't take place but it ran again last year.

I'm sure any of the committee will give you any details you need to know.
