Melton men are getting together for a cuppa, a chat and a chuckle.
Men over 55 meet on the first Tuesday of each month at the Melton Probus Club, where they’re welcomed by the group president Graham Carter and entertained by guest speakers.
Mr Carter, who has been president for a year and a member since 2008, says he continues to be amazed at the things he learns about other members of the group.
“You don’t realise what other people are capable of, or have done,” he said.
About 30 men attend the meetings, enjoying the company and the opportunity out of their homes or retirement villages.
Laurie Hoban, from Melton, looks forward to participating each month.
“It’s a very friendly group,” he said. “Joining a group like this was very entertaining … and it’s something all the men can get to.”
The men meet from 9.45am on the first Tuesday of each month (but the second Tuesday of November) at Christ Church Anglican Church hall, on the corner of Raleigh Road and Unitt Street, Melton.
There is a one-off application fee of $10 and membership costs $35 a year.
Call Graham Carter on 9747 3556.
