BATTLE FOR CONTROL OF THE DUCK FLAT CAP SOCIETY

BATTLE FOR CONTROL OF THE DUCK FLAT CAP SOCIETY

After an extraordinary meeting of the imbibing and procrastinating sub-committee of the Duck Flat Cap Society (DFCS), Driver Chard has been expelled from his long held Presidency and Chairmanship.

The octogenarian authoritarian has been dismissed from his duel capacity after a series of  unforced errors at the debating table and a number of instances of insulting behaviour towards fellow committee members.

The final straw being an unprovoked attack on Bazza the Gravedigger which left the silver haired cemetery gardener frothing with rage and indignity, as he was forced from his seat to accommodate the late octogenarian.

After a swift vote, Little Legs Parks was temporary voted in as acting Chairman and President, but his reign was short lived, as after two consecutive days without attending the debating table, he was summarily dismissed to be unanimously replaced by Chelsea Dave Duck.

However, Driver Chard refused to hand over the chains of office and after a scuffle involving a dozen beer mats, an unfurled umbrella and three pints of best bitter, both returned to their seats with a red faces and scowls.

In view of this incident Chelsea Dave the Duck was temporarily released from his position only to be reinstated the following day, after an unparalleled and unopposed vote of the combined imbibing, procrastinating and victuals full committee.


At present the acting President and Chairman remains Chelsea Dave the Duck, although at a further extraordinary meeting to be held 18 July 2015, the  proposition that the roles are to be permanently split will be put to the full vote, with the exclusion of the cantankerous silver haired octogenarian Driver Chard who has been banned from all future committee activity.



Further details will be posed in due course.
