Just wanted to provide an update on where we’re up to with the man club…
I was contacted by AMC today and they are delighted to set up a group in Gloucester. They take the set up very seriously though and it usually takes about 3 months from start to finish, but they have said based on what I told them that they’ll fast track things if they can. They take care of the launch, organising the social media and we’ll have a pop up tent in the City centre or Quays nearer the time to raise awareness.
I’m still hoping the meetings can be held at the football club. Of course meetings will be open to all men, but my main focus is football fans and supporting the club with its community presence.
Myself and other facilitators have to attend 8 group sessions and receive training before we can start, so I will be attending my first meeting on Monday.
We will be running another matchday awareness session, but given the above, this will likely now be on 10th Feb rather than 3rd Feb, as the meeting on Monday will give me a better understanding of what we’ll be offering and I can share more specific information with anyone interested.
