The young ones sat with Todd as he reminisced on his days as a Ram, and talked about how much he valued his time at the club.
Marshall also spoke to the kids about what it’s like playing at a professional level, then spent time answering questions from the players.
Certainly a day to remember for the young fourths players.
Mysterious spoke in CBD
Anyone driving through the CBD passed the corner of End St and Junction St, late Tuesday night may have spotted smoke coming from the empty building that was once the Deniliquin community centre.
Thankfully there was no emergency.
Deniliquin Fire + Rescue NSW were conducting a training exercise using some of their new training equipment.
A new LED screen and smoke machines were used as part of a fire simulator.
The team was equipped with a laser pointing nozzle that allows them to practice the aim of the hose when extinguishing a fire.
`Spoofical’ Cancelled
Due to a lack of response, the Deni Theatre Company has cancelled their “High School Spoofical” project.
However, keen to entertain students, the company has already begun working on something “new and exciting”.
The theatre company is encouraging the public to keep an eye out for updates on this upcoming project via the Deni Theatre Company Facebook page.
A makeover for the library
The Edward River Library has closed for renovations.
After boxing up the entirety of its book collection and dismantling all the shelves, the library was able to begin the renovations on the flooring.
As of last Saturday, the installation of the new carpet was complete.
The library will remain closed until June 26 for further changes.
The library’s staff asks the public and those who have borrowed books from the library to please refrain from returning them until it reopens.
The staff also reminds avid readers who need something new to read while the library is closed they will still have access to the library’s online collection of books.
