Good Friday Tins at the Ready
Local volunteers and emergency services personnel are uniting in their fundraising efforts for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.
After missing out on tin rattling last year, volunteers such as John Vandeven, Captain of Albury Civic Station for Fire and Rescue NSW are looking forward to hitting the streets with their fire trucks and connecting with their local communities.
“To see the people who have saved all year – numerous children that have got their piggy banks and loose change that they save all year, lots of people love to see us and it was so disheartening last year when we couldn’t do it due to COVID,” John said.
Reconnecting at the Races
Horse racing has been held at Dederang since 1865, but Saturday’s picnic races is perhaps the most keenly anticipated yet.
With COVID impacting sport and community events, President of Dederang Race Club Marcus Goonan says the Kiewa River Valley community is particularly looking forward to reconnecting.
“It’s really highlighted this year by the fact that the football season didn’t get off the ground and the cricket season has certainly been affected,” Marcus told Kylie and Kev.
“Sport is a really big thing in some of these smaller country communities. The Recreation Reserve supports seven different sporting clubs, which is really significant for a small town like ourselves for the community and connection.”

Among the first to receive a jab was Caroline Grealy, who is an Emergency Department Nurse Unit Manager and COVID Services worker.
“For me, there was no hesitation in rolling up my sleeve today. Being vaccinated is one of the greatest safeguards in the fight against COVID, and will help protect me, my loved ones, and my community,” she says.

After 2020 stopped the season in its tracks, clubs are working to build their teams back up to their full numbers again before the first round on Sunday, 11 April. Some clubs are experiencing slow numbers in particular age groups, says League Operations Manager Matthew Elliott. Clubs are definitely on the lookout for new players, and also welcoming back returning players as well.
There will be eight teams in the league this year, after the Wodonga Bulldogs was added to the fixture. They will be competing for the premiership flag against the Yarrawonga Pigeons, Alpine Lions (based in Whorouly), Lavington Panthers, Murray Felines (based in Rutherglen), Thurgoona Bulldogs, Wangaratta Rovers and Wodonga Raiders.
