Men’s Breakfast – Following the successful Church Ladies night out at the end of last year, I thought it might be a good idea for the church men to also have a time out. I wondered about a breakfast at the Great Northern one Saturday in the next month or so. To co-ordinate, I want to set up a WhatsApp group so we can sort out the best date, but I would need everyone’s mobile number for that. If you are interested, please let me have your name and mobile number. I am on 07504041046 or mikeshooter@hotmail.co.uk
