ORGANISERS of a charity event are hoping local businesses will dig deep - by lending them three excavators.
Each year, the annual Durham City duck race is started when 20,000 rubber ducks are tipped off Elvet Bridge into the River Wear, raising up to £10,000 for local charities.
Unfortunately, one of the volunteers has been forced to drop out of this year's event and organisers are now searching for a local firm which can supply three JCBs, or other similar machinery, and drivers on Sunday, November 6.
Anyone who can help out is asked to ring Jill Dodds on 0191-375 0416.
