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.
