Monday 02 November. St Comgall’s Men’s Friendship Group We had a great response at the information meeting for the new Men’s Group - 24 men attended plus 4 others are interested but couldn’t be there due to various reasons.
The meeting was very positive. Going forward Wednesday mornings will be the preferred meeting day and we have agreed to meet again on the 18th of November.
There is a very definite need for the Men’s Friendship Group.
It was heart-warming to see the level of very genuine interest in getting the group up and running.
