Men's Get Together

The next Men's Get Together is on Next Friday the 28 September. 6.00pm til 8pm underneath the Gospel Centre at Victor Harbor.  These nights are great fun. We have a regular turn out of app 12 - 14 people with lots of good banter and ALWAYS good food. The menue for next Friday is carnivale pasta. If you don't know what that is you will just have to come along to find out.

Men's Get Together

For me it is a bit hard to believe that we have already had 6 Men's Get Togethers. This means three months of men chatting to men. Men eating great BBQs cooked by Nigel (except for one chillie night - cooked by ME).

We have supported each other through some sad and heavy issues; and we have laughed lots about the silliness of the world. We have discussed racism, sexuality, aged care, explosives, caravans, youngsters, homophobia, politics, youth suicide and our own health and lots more..

These get togethers are special for me. I have found out that I LIKE men. We are unique, funny, annoying, grumpy, but overall this group of men is caring and supportive.

The NEXT MEN"S GET TOGETHER is Friday the 20th April. From 6.00pm til 8.00pm underneath the Gospel Centre on George Main Road. ( We are having the Easter Friday off)

Please pass this information around. We love to welcome new men into the group.

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.

3rd Men's Get Together

This night was another good gathering of men. Eight of us from around the Fleurieu got together and had discussions ranging from the health care system, same sex attraction and even solving Australia's water problem. So many men from so many different backgrounds.

I must aplogise to the users of the Gospel centre however. I put all the left over BBQ scraps in a plastic bag to take home to the chooks. Guess what??? I forgot to take them and 5 days later they were rank!!. Smelled out the whole place apparently. Oh well.... I'll never do that again I hope. Apologies all round.
