Warm start for Cottage by the Sea fundraiser

COTTAGE by the Sea helped stave off the coming cold of the changing seasons with its first Winter Warmers breakfast.

Held in the Captains’ Room at GMHBA Stadium, the event was a fundraiser for the Queenscliff-based children’s charity, with proceeds going towards funding the cottage’s non-government funded programs helping children and families in need.

The keynote speaker was Paul Taylor with tips on tackling the winter blues. A former officer in the Royal Navy, Mr Taylor is a neuroscientist, exercise physiologist and nutritionist and a PhD scholar.

Other special guests included “The Unbreakable Farmer” Warren Davies, members of the Mermaids swimming group, Tim and Jess from k Rock drive and Cottage by the Sea patron Rebecca Maddern.

Local media personality and Coodabeen Champion Ian Cover was the event’s MC.
