Super Duck Cheque Lands at Lorne Resource Centre

A race within a race, the Super Duck Competition, took place on a glorious Saturday in August as part of the Oban Rotary Club’s annual Charity Duck Race.
The Super Ducks are sponsored by local businesses and the first duck to the bay earns the winning business the opportunity to present a donation of £250 from the Rotary Club to a charity of their choice.
This year’s lucky duck was sponsored by Roddy’s Garage who selected the Lorne Resource Centre to be the recipient of the donation. Roddy’s decided to donate an additional £250 to the organisation and on October 4th Mark Cain, Office Manager at Roddy’s Garage and Ciorsti Baxter, President of Rotary Club of Oban went along to the Lorne Resource Centre to meet with the team and some of the people they support and to present a cheque for £500.

 
Ciorsti said, “We are so thankful that the Duck Race is so well supported by local businesses and the community. It’s one of our biggest fund raisers and all the money goes back into the Community. The Super Duck Race was a recent innovation that give us another opportunity to engage with local businesses. It really is win – win – win for the business, the charity, and the Club."
