Gippsland SCI Regional Network Meeting – March 2019

For the March meeting, the Gippsland SCI Regional Network did something a bit different! The Network met at the Gippsland Lakes Yacht Club in Paynesville to try Sailability, a sailing program that exists to promote, encourage and facilitate recreational and competitive sailing for people living with a disability.

It was a beautiful day out to welcome new people from the Paynesville area to the Network, and to try sailing –many of whom would not have thought of doing. The amazing volunteers helped transfer people into the small boats using a hoist, and then off they went!

Everyone enjoyed the freedom of being on the waters and learned a lot about how to sail the two-seater boat. The Network thanks Marty, one of the members of the Network, for organising lunch and such a fun day with the Gippsland Lakes Yacht Club. Hopefully, there will be budding sailors in the next few months!

Next month, the Network is looking forward to meeting in Warragul to learn about NDIS and urology products, and meet people in the Warragul area.
