Stoke Poges Men's Group

Time set aside for men to encourage and be encouraged.

A big welcome from the Stoke Poges Men’s Group.  If you have not been to one of our events, then please read on to find out what you are missing!  During the year we run curry nights, dinners, Saturday morning breakfasts, activity evenings (skittles etc.) and visits to interesting venues.  There is something for everyone!  We are not an exclusive group but very inclusive and guys from a wide area (not just from Stoke Poges) come along to our events.  We are open to everyone – guys of all faiths and none are always given a very warm welcome.

At some of our events we invite a special guest who will give a talk on a specific topic, and during their talk they will usually share something of their Christian faith and how it has guided and influenced them during their lives.

Our group is affiliated to a UK organisation called Christian Vision for Men who run an annual conference for men and support men’s groups throughout the UK.
 
Beer & Skittles Evening – Saturday 16th March 2024
Our next event will be the ever popular Beer & Skittles Evening in the main hall at St Andrews Centre in Rogers Lane, Stoke Poges.  It's a great opportunity for Lads, Dads, Granddads and other Fellas to get together for an evening of fun and relaxation.  As usual a fish & chip supper will be provided plus a wide range of drinks (craft beers, lager, soft drinks etc.) and they are all included in the price.  The first game starts at 7pm, so arrive any time from 6:30pm for a drink and some healthy nibbles!  Everyone is welcome, so please do come and join us (not just playing skittles, but Pool, Air Hockey and Table Football as well). 
There is a limit on the number of places, so please book early.  The evening should finish at approximately 10pm.
 
Men’s Breakfast - Saturday 11th May 2024

Our following event is a Men’s Breakfast in the Oak Room at the South Buckinghamshire Golf Club (in Park Road, Stoke Poges).  There is no better way to start your weekend than with a hearty cooked breakfast, and if that appeals to you, then why not plan to join us for some good food, good company and to hear a really interesting talk.  Coffee & tea will be available from 8:15am and our food served from 8:30am. Our speaker will be David Fortune, a guy who has a passion for sharing the Christian message with men and women in prisons throughout the UK.  David trained as a pastor and while leading a church in London he began teaching and preaching in prisons. This led him to start producing resources for prison chaplains and as the demand grew for those resources, he took the bold step of setting up his charity called Christian Prison Resourcing (CPR) in 2010. David is a natural leader and continues to play a significant role in the running of the charity, which is located throughout the UK with a large number of volunteer helpers. CPR works with prison
chaplains and local churches, offering help and support in addition to providing a link between the prison and members of the local church (which is especially important in the resettlement of prisoners when they are released). David encounters many interesting and challenging situations, especially when visiting prisoners (some in high security establishments) and he will be sharing those with us. Following his talk, he will take questions and we plan to finish by 10:15am.
