4th Men's Get Together

What a fantastic night this was. Thirteen men from all walks of life just being together for company, support and of course food from the BBQ. ( Particular thanks to Nigel for wearing the inaugural Men's BBQ apron).

I believe there is a perception in our community that men WON'T open up and WON'T talk about personal issues for them. Well.... often all it takes is the right 'space' and for one person to start the conversation, to give permission, to show how they feel and then MANY OF US open up as well. Last Friday night was one of these great occaisions. The energy in the room was high, lots of talks and some hiliarious moments. ( I guess you get these funny moments when men talk about life, love and erections). Really no matter what words are said; the conversations comes around to "what is it to be a man"? It's something many of us struggle with. How do we define ourselves as MEN.

Well..... I define ALL the people that showed up last Friday night as GOOD MEN: and as far as I am concerened. Thats enough.
