Golden Ducks 2008-09
A Look at the Golden Ducks / Primaries from this year
The Primary (or Golden Duck) theme has always been associated with our fundraising. Our members pay an annual subscription of only $40.00, however, when membership renewal notices are forwarded to them, they are also requested to pay tax deductable ‘fines’ (donations) of $5.00 per primary scored throughout the previous year by Australian players in Test Matches, One Day Internationals or Twenty20 matches.
