So, the kids are back at school today and it was lovely this morning to hear all their noise and chatter about their Easter holidays, it sounds like they all had good rests and are ready for the summer term which see the pool being used once again.

And us ducks love it when the pool is being used….once school is closed for the day and everyone is tucked up in bed, we sneak out of the FOSS cupboard and have a splash and a paddle although some of our number use it as a chance to get some serious training for the big day, some ducks are so competitive!

Anyway, I don’t know about you but I am so pleased that the sun is now shining. It’s always a long winter for us Storrington Ducks shut up in the FOSS storage cupboard but now we are out, we have been sorted and we are all in serious training for the Duck Race from midday on 10th May.

I just wanted to say a few thanks to some of our sponsors this year, without them we wouldn’t be able to put the Duck Race on:

• H D Tribe Funeral are sponsoring the 2nd place duck – a cash prize of £50! Many thanks to them
• Thanks to Alan’s IT Solutions for hosting our website – couldn’t do it without you !

Also, we are now taking bookings for the car boot Sale which always accompanies this event. Sunday 10th May, 12 – 2.30pm. £8 per pitch.

We are looking forward to seeing you all in May….Sam
