Lame Duck Kup

The Lame Duck Kup event has become an annual tradition for the TC Motoring Guild.  It was started in 1982 as a kite flying competition where the highest altitude achieved was the winner.  The victor was awarded a golden duck to keep for one year, until the next year’s event.  Traditionally held in the fifth week of January (somewhere between January 32nd and 39th), it has also included other types of competition such as navigational / clue rallies and Duck Funkhanas where participants entered their toy ducks in a series of competitions.  These included a Duck Concourse (best decorated duck), downhill racing (cheating encouraged), Duck Sailing and Duck Flying which was achieved by stuffing an archery bow into the rear of a TC and launching the ducks into a trash can lid full of water. A more complete (and amusing) history can be read by clicking here.
