Poll Time (14/6/17)

We have four new poll questions covering a range of topics, we apologise for the delay in polling as coming up with questions was harder than expected.

Our four questions are the following;

1. Does Deniliquin need an EB Games like store?
2. Have we lost too much of our local history?
3. Are you happy with the Ute Muster’s music bill?
4. What is your favourite decade of music?

We ask the question of an EB Games store as many local gamers are going to Echuca to get the latest games and local supplies are dwindling, we have said EB Games like store because somebody might create their own unique store and we’ve added an option to tell local businesses to bulk up their stock of games.

After watching what Deniliquin History in Photos has shown the people over the last year, we’ve become aware that so much history has gone from Deniliquin and much of what has been lost was rarely documented and we’re wondering if people agree.

The music bill for the Ute Muster was recently announced, some are happy with it, some are not happy with it, some will pay attention to other things at the Muster and some just shrug because they don’t go to the Muster so it doesn’t bother them.

The last question asks what is your favourite decade of music, is it the 1950’s where Rock n Roll music came alive, the 1960’s that had so much, the 1970’s where music tastes changed often, the 1980’s that gets rated better by the year, the good old 1990’s that swung from rock to grunge to pop, the pop covered decade that was the 2000’s or this current decade or perhaps you love them all.

Thank you for your patience in waiting for new poll questions, we’ll be back with new questions on June 28.

The Coronation Medals

In 1937, The then British Empire had a new King, King George VI.

As part of the celebrations, 1000 medals were distributed at Deniliquin as you can see in the newspaper clip from the Deniliquin Independent (former Deniliquin newspaper).

The Independent also reported that Mayor J.E McFaull also received a medal along with mayors from nearby shires.

Recently a medal became available on eBay and is now back in local hands and it is from either one of the two events.

The medal is smaller than a twenty cent piece making it seemingly too small for a mayor yet it would seem too small for a kid.

It is entirely possible the kids medals were made specifically for the Deniliquin area making this one of them.

If anyone has the exact same medal, please let us know.

Regardless of where it is a mayor medal or children’s medal, It is still a great look at history especially when in that newspaper link you can see details of the movies that were playing at both the Regent Theatre and the Lyceum Theatre (click on highlighted link).

Muster Artists unveiled

News of who will be playing at the Ute Muster has been spreading around the country this past week.

Music favourites (in no particular order) like The McClymonts, Lee Kernaghan, Beccy Cole, James Blundell, Sara Stoner are currently on the bill plus many more artists as can be seen in the poster below.

Already there has been concerns that the performers are pretty much the same as past years and several believe prices are too high leading to the usual arguments about pricing, community support and other things.

Organisers did say in their announcement post they have heard the requests for the muster to get back to its roots and people will be partying on the plains like it is 1999 but we will have to see on September 29 and 30 what the final outcome will be, hopefully for everyone it is wins all round.
