Win cash by investing in rubber duck

Now in its fifth year, the annual Friends of the School Duckling Derby is a major fundraiser for more than 800 boys and girls attending Port Alfred High School.

By investing in a R50 rubber duckling you stand the chance of winning a cash prize if your duckling is the first, second or third to cross the finish line at Kiddies Beach on the incoming tide on Saturday morning December 29.

An average of 1,000 numbered rubber ducks will be set free from the bridge under tightly controlled supervision and the first to get to the finish line wins its owner R5,000, the second duckling wins its owner R3,000 and the third to cross the finish line wins its owner R1,000 cash!

Lucky draw attendance prizes are also to be won.

Don’t delay, invest in your ducklings today and help Port Alfred High to remain a centre of educational excellence. With strong winds overnight, a large branch broke off a coral tree on our pavement.

Before I was able to thank them they were on their way, leaving a neat pile of wood against the tree trunk. This wood had been removed by 12.30pm.

It is good to be able to thank those municipal employees involved for such excellent service, which I do gratefully.
