Young trip for car club
Deniliquin District Veteran & Vintage Car Club are headed off today for their latest trip.
Club president Val Maher said 34 members would be taking part in the four day Young excursion.
They will cover about 400km, travelling via Narrandera, Coolamon and Temora.
In Young the members will visit the sites, including the old railway station, art gallery, historical museum, Mad Harry’s Collectables, the Chinese tribute gardens, wineries, the dam and Poppa’s Fudge and Jam Factory.
There will also be lots to see at Harden, Grenfell, Cowra and Greenthorpe.
Clean up thanks
Fourteen people pulled on their gloves and volunteered for the Friends of the Cemetery and Rotary Club of Deniliquin cemetery clean up on Saturday.
The clean up covered tasks not normally carried out by Edward River Council’s maintenance team, and included the removal of fallen leaves.
Friends of the Cemetery volunteer June Campbell said the group managed to do a lot of good during the morning.
“On behalf of our group and the Rotary Club of Deniliquin, I would like to thank all those wonderful people who came and gave us a hand,” June said.
“It was a great job done by all.
“We also wish to think Rotary and Riverina Funerals for organising the barbecue.”
June said the Friends of the Cemetery would be organising another working bee for the spring, but said any help between working bees to maintain the cemetery is always welcome.
