Action-packed Bank Holiday in store

The Bank Holiday weekend is set to be a fun-filled finale to the summer holidays, with events running throughout the three days.

The annual Overton Art Group exhibition runs from Saturday to Monday at the ORC in Bridge St. The exhibition is open from 10.00am - 6.00pm each day and admission is free

Overton Cricket Club has a busy weekend in prospect, with 1st and 2nd XI fixtures on Saturday and the final of the Guy Jewell Plate at May's Bounty on Sunday. Completing a frantic weekend, Monday sees a 6-a-side competition at the ORC, starting at 11.30.

Monday also sees the return of the much loved Great Overton Duck Race. Held at Flashetts, the event opens at 12.00, with the first race at 1.00pm. There are eight races, with each winner picking up Ł20 and the first five ducks going through to the Grand Final, with a chance to win Ł100, Ł50 or Ł25. Also featured is the fiercely contested "Race Your Own Duck" Race, which sees visitors' own bathtime buddies doing battle for a Ł50 prize. There is a licensed bar, barbecue, refreshments, stalls, face painting and tombola to guarantee a fun filled afternoon. Ducks are Ł1 each per race and can be obtained in the Community Centre Square on Saturday morning or anytime during the race afternoon.

The White Hart Beer Festival also returns from Saturday - Monday. There are 15 beers to enjoy this year. If the recent spell of weather (better suited to the ducks) has made the gardens too damp underfoot, the beers will be served up indoors.
