Hi Peter

I am sharing your concern with the rest of the team, blind copy of course, as this is issue will surely be raised at our AGM later in the year.

Your Newlands Duck Obstruction Rule, or N-DOR for short, will be discussed in the committee meeting next week and steps will have to be taken to eliminate this threat, be it the duck or the before mentioned "duck trainers", or a handicap system will have to be defined and accepted at the AGM.

As a note of interest, I overheard a conversation in the cloakrooms last night regarding a similar scenario that played off on Tuesday without any success and then mentions later from Rainer about enjoying a lovely roasted Duck on Wednesday evening... coincidence...?

In future we might have to search each swimmer for duck whistles before allowing them into the pool area.
