Men's Fellowship


The Men's Fellowship meets on the 2nd, 4th and 5th Mondays of the month, from 10am till 12 noon, from September to May. All men are welcome to attend.

We start with an informal time, with games: pool, darts, draughts, etc; or just chatting and putting the world to rights!

We also have refreshments, of course!

We have a varied programme, with discussions on a variety of topics and speakers on various subjects, for example: Farming, the Fire Service, The Ambulance Service

We are a Christian group, but we don't have two heads or haloes. We are just a group of sinners who have trusted Jesus Christ as our saviour, but are still capable of putting our foot in it.

Whether you are a Christian or not, you can be assured of a friendly welcome.

Programme, September-December 2009
