Southern sushi loomed appropriately large during the opening of a new, $25 million community facility in South Otago yesterday.
About 300 people joined a celebratory opening of the new Te Pou ō Mata-Au Clutha District Memorial & Community Centre in Balclutha, which replaces the town’s former War Memorial Hall.
Following formalities, guests were regaled with favourite Deep South delicacy cheese rolls — also known as Southern sushi — and the tasty treat was also alluded to during opening speeches.
