After two decades of neglect, the wicked Wood Ducks return in their full glory for a final swansong at The News 20-Year Reunion on April 21, 2012.
Dubbed the Eternal Wood Ducks, these awe-inspiring awards will acknowledge the auspicious achievements of three alumni of that academy of amazing altruism and alcoholic annihilation - The News.
Just three Wood Ducks will be presented at The News 20-Year Reunion – one to the most shocking sheila, one to the most probing bloke while the glittering Golden Wood Duck will recognise the Best Nose for News - from the days before the error (sic) of phone hacking!
Now it’s time to get your fingers dirty by nominating your most worthy (or unworthy) colleague - or even chuck your own hat in the ring - for one of the Eternal Wood Ducks. Don’t hold nuthin’ back ‘cos you’ll never get another chance like this. Email your details to Mike O’Reilly at oreillym@ozemail.com.au
