Helen’s Bay Men’s Fellowship continued to meet on occasional Saturday mornings at the Marine Court in Bangor. We have a major victory to report: our breakfast was in jeopardy by those terrible cost cutting accountant types. A concerted mission via Trip Advisor eventually succeeded and the quality of the breakfast was saved. Marine Court remains the best breakfast venue in North Down.
Beyond
the thickness of the bacon and the succulence of the sausages we
did get down to some intense
conversation. We dappled with a couple of chapters of Rick Warren
and considered a chapter
from “God at Work” by an ex Investment Banker. More recently we
tackled the testy subject
of Forgiveness which to be honest was very demanding and stretched
the best of us.
Our
official outing this year was to Bangor West to hear Anthony Delany
speak. He is an expoliceman from
Manchester who is a good friend of Sir Matt Baggott. A great
morning and a breakfast
which gave the Marine Court a run for its money. Our unofficial
outing was to a Beer Tasting
supporting Habitat for Humanity but no one remembers how that
went.
On the
Horology Front one of our members managed to visit an interesting
clock on a Naval Base
near Cape Town in South Africa.
We
continue to meet at 7.45 in the Marine Court with the guillotine at
9am. A disturbing change has
developed whereby some members have been known to continue the
discussion afterwards on the
street. It is probably evidence of the continuing need to share and
challenge. The humour remains.
As
always, we continue to welcome men joining us on an occasional
basis. Keep an eye out on the
announcements or join the mailing list to stay in
touch.
