 After two rounds played on the artificial surface at Dimboola, the Wimmera’s hockey players got their first taste of grass hockey on Saturday, with round three of the Wimmera Hockey Association season hosted on Anzac Park in Warracknabeal.  Charles Rees from the Dimboola RSL has written a moving piece about the reasons for ’Lest We Forget’.  After two years of not being able to hold the event, the Wimmera Mallee Pioneer Museum at Jeparit will come alive again this June long weekend for their Vintage Rally.  The Tarranyurk Public Hall was officially opened one hundred years ago this week, and while it no longer serves its namesake community, it still fills a useful role.  CFA urges residents to keep themselves safe by checking and maintaining their fireplaces, chimneys, fireboxes and flues.  The second round of the Wimmera Hockey Association season was played at Dimboola on Saturday with seven big competition matches, and for the first time this season, the next generation of hockey players took to the field in the Under 12 Development Program.  The Wimmera’s first Steampunk Festival several weeks ago keeps getting bigger with the recent announcement of a date for the next festival.  Following the disrupted finish to the 2021 season, which saw the Wimmera Hockey Association’s finals abandoned and the usual season-ending presentation function not held, the opportunity was taken during the first round of this season to acknowledge the award winners from last season.  Wimmera hockey made a welcome return on Saturday.  Two sporting clubs in Dimboola will share in more than $900,000 from the latest round of the Victorian Government’s Sporting Club Grants program.  The Wimmera Hockey Association season is set to hit off on Saturday, with the Dimboola club hosting a full round of matches on the artificial turf at the Dimboola Health and Fitness Centre.  The Nhill & District Sporting Club will welcome Dale Thomas for a round of football later this year through ‘The Carlton Draft’. NoticeboardLOCAL BUSINESS ADVERT.
