The Deniliquin Boat Club and the Edward River provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxed fundraiser for the Deniliquin Murray to Moyne Cycle Relay team last Friday night.

Competing with the Deniliquin Town Hall official opening did impact on attendance a little, but those who did attend had a fantastic time.

There was a food van, bar and music from Zech Walters, in addition to a silent auction and raffles.

Combined with donations received before the evening, the event has brought the total raised to date to $10,000.

All funds raised help purchase Deniliquin Hospital wish list items.

The ride will be held on April 1 and 2 and will cover approximately 537km from Echuca to Port Fairy.
