Where older men with experience in life and expertise in various skills come to pursue their hobbies and talk with mates about anything and everything. Many of these older men have the opportunity to become mentors to younger men who, through no fault of their own, have grown up in a home without a stable male role model.
This Sunday there is a screening of "Men's Group" @ Avoca Theatre. For an interesting 4 minute "making of" the flick click here.
Looks like a not to be missed ... with a Q & A, following the 6.30pm screening, with the director of the flick. All the actors weren't allowed to discuss their characters with the other actors and some free forming allowed a chance for natural antagonistic situations to arise.
A brave, vulnerable and unknown territory for all involved.
The display board for name tags is coming along. Sitting at the back of the shed tis just begging for finishing coat and a location to start serving its function.
No excuses then for not finding and wearing a name tag... as long as you can remember your own name to start with.
