Winter Sailing!

A few weeks off sailing and now it's time to dig out the winter woollies and hit the water again.

Friday night Food

Another big weekend at PESC, including a very successful Jam Night in conjunction with delicious food from the Far South Food Resilience group. 
A sell-out event, a lot of fun, and a great fund-raiser for the FSFR community efforts.  Well done team!

This Friday (8th May) Neil's cooking and we have on the menu :

Chicken Fillet Burger w/Chips

Fish, Chips and Mushy peas

Haloumi Burger with Mediterranean vegetables

Dover Aged Care
Community Consultation

Over 65? You, your family, friends and neighbours are invited  to discuss aged care needs in the
community.
When: Tomorrow!  Tuesday 5 May, 2026 – 10.15am to 11.15am
At: Port Esperance Sailing Club, 71 Station Road, Dover

Further information:
The Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing (the Department) seeks to publish a regional, rural and remote aged care policy framework and workplan, which clearly articulates the Department’s priorities in terms of addressing ongoing challenges in thin market service delivery.

The framework aims to ensure accessible, safe and quality aged care services regardless of where a person lives. It will support existing initiatives, to remain sustainable, relevant, transparent and accountable whilst allowing flexibility for new challenges.

The Department is visiting Dover to gain an understanding of any barriers/ gaps which may exist, to better understand the preferences of Senior Australians for aged care services, and to explore
innovative and place-based solutions to address gaps and meet needs.
