DNC Signs up to be a Donation Partner with the Container Deposit Scheme
Do you have bottles and containers that you can recycle? DNC would like to work with you and would be grateful of your donations.
We have recently signed up as a Donation Partner with the Container Deposit Scheme. This means we can accept donations of refunds from anyone who wishes to donate to a charity. Next time you have a few bottles to take to the recycle station, if you would like to donate your refund to a local group, you can now select DNC as the recipient.
To send your donation through to DNC
- Download the CDS VicWest App from the appstore
- Search Charities in Searchbox and select DNC
- Once you have found the DNC page, scroll down and click on the SET AS PAYOUT button!
- At the recycle station, scan your barcode at the scanner, pop your bottles in and that’s it!
Simple!
If you are part of a local group and would like to support DNC with your refunds, we would be very grateful of any donations and happy to chat to you further if you would like to do something officially with your group. We can help with flyers etc. Just call us and we’d be happy to work with you!
Basketball Clinics at the ARC
Basketball Clinics will continue every Wednesday afternoon during Term 3 and into Term 4.
Basketball is a great sport that teaches not only physical skills, but also social skills, teamwork and problem-solving, discipline and work ethic. It also helps build confidence – and you have fun!!
Coach Tegan is experienced in teaching the fundamentals of the game to children of all ages and skill levels. She helps children master the basics of shooting, dribbling, passing, rebounding, defence and footwork through simple and effective drills and games.
The clinics are open to children aged 10 and under (between 4-5pm) and 11 and over (between 5-6pm).
The cost is a $2.00 donation at the door.
Call Coach Tegan on 0402 550 450 if you have any questions.
(DNC acknowledges the support of the Daylesford Bowling Club.)
And don’t forget Pickleball at The ARC. It’s on every Sunday for all ages and skill levels – from 11.30 am. $10.00 per person. Wear sneakers and bring a drink bottle. Book with Wendy on 0458 372 906.

DNC Joke of the Week
This is a story of a group of chess enthusiasts, good friends all, who had a long day of chess matches. Late in the evening these friends went to the lobby of the large hotel where the matches were held, to talk a bit and rest. While their chat began quietly it gathered steam and got quite animated. They were telling each other of their successes of the day.
One said he had won so many matches, another told of how he had beaten better players than himself. All the others skited about their castling and their checkmates.
After a while of this, the hotel manager came over and summarily threw them all out, saying, “I can’t abide chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.”
[If you’ve got a better joke, (and doesn’t everyone??) send it to admin@dncentre.org.au and we’ll publish it. (Remember, this is a family publication! 😊). We’ll even include your name if you wish – or you can protect your anonymity!]
