Dear valued Peninsula Voice Supporter,
 
We are very pleased to share with you that our next event will be held on Thursday 29 February 2024 at 6.30pm at the Peninsula Community Theatre in Mornington.

Titled ‘Climate Change – Our Home, Our Future’, the event is aimed at sharing information from experts about climate change, and importantly, sharing information about what we, as a local community, can do about it.

Bookings can be made here for this free community forum.

The free event is aimed at being a positive forum, providing both information and also practical actions we can all undertake to combat climate change.

We understand the weight of concern surrounding climate change, and its impact on mental health, especially on younger people. That's why we're dedicated to sharing good news where we can be informed as well as uplifted.

Guest speakers include:

• David Karoly – Melbourne University Professor and International Climate Change Expert,
• Angie Bone – Associate Professor of Planetary Health at Monash University
• Sam Lundberg – MP resident tackling climate change locally, and
• The Repower Mornington Peninsula Group.

 

We hope you can attend, and ask that wherever possible, you also promote this forum with your family and networks.

We had a huge weekend for the Town Planning & Co. Schnapper Point Regatta with 84 participants in 77 yachts -  kids, youth and adults.  This year we included the Victorian U21 ILCA (Laser) regatta
 
We received lots of thanks and compliments from many people:
“always like coming to Mornington”
“great atmosphere”
“amazing regatta which was run so efficiently”
“great team”
 
THANK YOU to the over 60 volunteers that make this happen.  A BIG THANK YOU to Town Planning & Co yet again for your generous sponsorship of our event and to Ronstan for providing prizes for the ILCA event. 

THANK YOU to the on-water crew, off-water, TAG, sign on, BBQ, yard, tower, IT, coaches and results, plus anyone else that helped out.
 
A HUGE THANKS to Ben Jones and Immi Weber who did so much organising.  And a special mention to those that stayed until 9pm Saturday, when the northerly blew up and the rhibs looked in danger, it was most appreciated. THANK YOU to Davey’s Bay for running the green course, and to Sorrento again for your support.
 
It’s a lot of work.  We are still a regatta that focuses on the greenies, and the development of all. We encourage those that have never been to a regatta, and aim to give them a life-long love of our sport.  It isn’t just about the results, but getting out there and enjoying.  Seeing the achievements and smiles makes it all worthwhile.
