On Friday, I will give a presentation at a conference.

A conference in a field I did not even know existed in January, but which I find really interesting and, in fact, really important, for many reasons: Outdoor Education (more on this another time).

And for the first time, I will give a conference presentation on the topic of Sailing, which will cover health science, an overview of the local sailing community and discuss some of the challenges we have encountered over the years.

Title: Youth Sailing in Victoria – Impact, Access and Challenges
