Star Weekly photographer Damjan Janevski bumped into members from the Melton Men’s Group, out on their weekly Thursday through the Melton Botanic gardens.

The group were formed from the Sons of the West in 2018 and now have 100 members on their books.

They meet weekly for lunch at La Porchetta on a Monday, for morning walks on Thursday and have meetings on Thursday evenings.

The group have monthly guests speakers, who present talks on various mens health topics.

Group president Charlie Whitfeld said anyone interested in joining could turn up to a meeting to learn more.

“They can introduce themselves and they’ll be made welcome,” he said.

“We sit around, drink coffee, play snooker, table tennis and indoor lawn bowls.”

Meetings are held each Thursday evening at 5pm, at The Gap on 5 Grange Street.
