Uncategorized

November 26 2017

Deniliquin Florist had a successful Floristry Workshop today, participants of the workshop got to enjoy putting together floral arrangements, enjoyed a free morning tea and they got to take home not only their handiwork but a Christmas Cake too.

As readers will see in this linked picture, the flowers put into the arrangements were of great beauty and will brighten up any home or workplace that they end up at and the participants were very pleased with the final product.

Proceeds of the workshop went to Can Assist Deniliquin and the total amount of money raised today was $700 which is a fantastic result.

World Sandwich Day – November 3

News, Uncategorized, ,

November 3 2017

World Sandwich Day is on this Friday (November 3) and customers at our local Subway have a chance to participate.

All customers have to do is go in and purchase a Sub, Wrap or Salad and they will receive a second one of equal or lesser value so you can eat one sub/wrap/salad and save the other one for later or give it to a friend.

But that’s not all, every purchase means that Subway will donate on your behalf a meal to Foodbank Australia and 100% of the proceeds raised by Subway in Australia stays in Australia.

Foodbank Australia provided enough food to make 60 million meals last year and they have already provided 495 Million meals to Australians since their inception.

Foodbank Australia started in NSW back in 1992 and have grown to have 100 employees and over 3,000 volunteers and serve everyone from charities to schools.

Subway Deniliquin hopes that many locals will take up this offer in order to help assist those who need food the most.

Deni Footballers narrowly denied Premierships

September 25 2017

Deniliquin’s AFL Footballers had an agonizing close to success weekend as both their sides lost in the VFL and SANFL Grand Finals respectively.

Sam Lloyd’s Richmond went down by four points to Port Melbourne in the VFL whilst in the SANFL Todd Marshall’s Port Adelaide were defeated by Sturt by a point.

Sam was widely hailed for having a superb game, so superb that he is a chance to play in the Tigers AFL Grand Final match against Adelaide should there be an injury or selection change.

Sam had 35 possessions, 10 clearances, nine tackles and a goal, there was one additional honour for Sam as he is now etched into the history books as the winner of the Norm Goss medal for best afield.

Todd Marshall played in the SANFL Grand Final for Port Adelaide and had four kicks, two handballs, three marks, six tackles and kicked 0.2 in the loss to Sturt.

Todd spent the majority of the AFL season in SANFL but managed to play finals in both the AFL and SANFL due to meeting SANFL game playing criteria to play in finals.

Whilst losing a Grand Final is no fun, the two men should be very proud to have participated in the biggest day of their respective reserve leagues and may success find them in the AFL and VFL/SANFL in the future.
