Nippers duck in for a prize

By GEN FRASER

AT THE halfway point of the season the Noosa Nippers were able to show the results of their hard work at the Club Championships held on Sunday.
All ages hit the surf and sand with Nippers having to navigate a two metre swell in the board events.
A big shout out to all the extra helpers who helped run and record the events.
Nippers will celebrate the break in the season from 5pm this Friday 11 December at the famous Noosa Heads Surf Club Great Duck Race held on Main Beach. Up to 500 ducks will be released offshore and to make their way to the beach with the first one to arrive delivering $1000 to the lucky owner. Tickets are $40 and include a racing duck plus dinner, beer, wine and soft drink on the beach.
Anyone can buy a racing duck and tickets are available from the Noosa Heads Surf Club, Noosa Aquatic Centre, Noosa Junction Bakers Delight and the Tewantin Deli and Cafe Takeaway.
All proceeds of the duck sales go to the Noosa Nippers. Nippers are also reminded that the Nippers season will re-commence on 10 January 2016 so we wish everyone a Safe and Happy Christmas and New Year.
