Why not drop in and say g’day to George.

Deans Marsh Community Hall
ALL WELCOME *Gold Coin Donation
“One of the better-kept secrets of Deans Marsh is that every Tuesday night at 7.30pm, a few folk gather at the Community Hall to play table tennis. Some of those who DO know about it refer to it as The Ping Pong Club.”
Marsh Fit
Monday and Fridays at 9am at the Deans Marsh Recreation Reserve
Marsh Fit is a free community fitness incentive. It is for all ages and both guys and girls. A two year old and a sixty two year old regularly come to the group! Mum’s with kids are welcome but it is not just for Mums. Research shows that people who regularly exercise in a group are more likely to stick at it.

MADCAP – Marsh And District Community Action Plan
The Deans Marsh and District Community Action Plan
The Deans Marsh Cottage has been successful in gaining funding for our community to create a community generated action plan.
We are delighted to confirm that Peter Kenyon from The Bank of Ideas has been appointed to work with us over the next few months to facilitate the development of the plan. In 2019 Peter was awarded an Order of Australia Medal for his international and national community development initiatives.
There will be a range of opportunities and activities both formal and informal for you to be involved. Regular updates will feature on the Deans Marsh Community Cottage website, Cottage Facebook page, The Cottage fortnightly email update and printed information.
We are trained to ask:
“What’s wrong and how we fix it?”
Instead start by asking:
“What works, what have we got, what’s possible and who cares”
