Ducks recognise the best
IN a night full of frivolity with lots of “friendly fire” the Dubbo Ducks wrapped up another challenging year.
“We lost three of our long-serving members in 20/21 – Ross Tomlins, Don Attenborough and, more recently, Tony Wall, so our hearts went out to them and their families when we gathered to celebrate our 60th year,” Tom Gray shared.
“This club is built on mateship and when we say farewell, it is not just the persons we are grieving for, it is their families who are in our hearts. Ross, Donny and Tony all made contributions and Trish, Betty and Merle and their families are forever linked to the Duck Pond.”
The Ducks is one of Dubbo’s longest serving sporting and community groups.
“Come down to the RSL pool any Sunday morning around 8.30 to meet and join in the fun,” was the smiling invitation from Judy Walsh!
“Never too old, not too young to be a Dubbo Duck”.
