unique numbers will be revealed so that we can match them to their owners who will be presented with their prizes consisting of £60 for 1st duck home, £25 for second, £10 for 3rd and a consolation prize of £5 for the owner of the 4th duck to cross the finish line. There will also be a special prize for the owner whose duck finishes the race in last place.
Ducks are available to buy for £1 each. Each duck in the race will be
uniquely numbered and the winner will be united with its owner at the end when
the prizes get presented. You can buy as many ducks as you wish, the more you
buy the more chance you have of winning!

Extra Time for Dorchester Town FC marquee |
|
|
|
By Harry Hogger
Dorchester Town Football Club claimed a victory off the pitch after being granted
an extension in planning permission for its marquee.
The Magpies were granted temporary permission for the Prince’s Marquee
for three months despite complaints from residents of nearby Castle Park over
excessive noise.
The extension includes a number of conditions, with live bands now prohibited
from playing in the marquee and a limit on amplified music.
Residents and football supporters both stated their cases at a meeting of West
Dorset District Council’s development control committee.
Barry Tempest, of Castle Park, said: “It is obvious to anyone that live
music or significantly amplified sound on a regular basis in a tent at a range
of about 150m from a residential area is simply unacceptable.”
Secretary for the Dorchester Town FC Supporters Trust, Dave Ring, said the
very future of the club, and all the benefits it brought to the town and community,
would be in jeopardy if it lost the revenue stream from the marquee.
He said: “Due to the continuous adverse economic climate we genuinely
fear the loss of the marquee at this stage could put the very survival of the
football club in doubt.”
Magpies’ chairman Shaun Hearn told the meeting that the three months
extension would allow the club to continue its operations in the marquee while
progressing with plans for a permanent, more soundproof structure.
The council’s senior planning officer Andrew Martin admitted his department
had faced a ‘dilemma’ in considering the application because they
had to consider the interests of residents as well as the community asset that
is the football club.

|
|
|
By Ky Capel
Dorchester Town Supporters Trust has increased its shareholding in the county
town club after investing £1,500.
The Trust, which launched last July, now holds 3,500 shares in the Blue Square
South outfit.
Club chairman Shaun Hearn received a cheque from members of the Trust’s
board and is pleased with the organisation’s efforts thus far.
He said: “We are delighted to receive the funds from the Trust, and the
club is extremely grateful for the hard work that the Trust board has contributed
in terms of volunteering and helping to raise the profile of the club, which
you simply cannot put a price on.
“Neal Butterworth, who is the Trust representative on the club’s
board of directors, is also doing a fantastic job for the club.”
