Men’s Event – Friday 20th September 10:30 a.m. Following the men’s group meeting in June, we would like to follow this up with a September sequel on
Friday 20th with the hope that this will become a regular event. On this occasion we would like to gather items of value to ‘Tools for Solidarity’. Lawnmowers, sewing machines and assorted small tools are among the items which are to be sent to Tanzania later in September. If you can help with this that would be great. Please feel free to come to this men’s event whether or not you have tools to give. Tea and coffee will be available and it will also be an opportunity to plan out future events. We look forward to seeing you then.
