Precise time and venue tbc (central Charlbury, late afternoon).
The Charlbury Men’s Group held its first meeting on Friday 4th July. We are actively looking for new members. Men only (!) please.
The idea is to build a mutual support network for men in Charlbury.
We are a small friendly group of like minded individuals. Currently there is no charge for membership and we plan to meet once a month in central Charlbury.
Discussions will be led by members and it is hoped to have a guest speaker at each meeting, again, to be chosen by the members.
It is an informal group and there is no constitution or governing body. It aims to provide a safe environment in which men can meet, make new friends, and discuss anything from mental health to cars and planes.
If this intrigues you please email alan: mensgroupcmc@gmail.com With a brief note saying why you are interested. Thank you.
