yes, a wonderful idea. I run a community group and have a dedicated mens day where we visit local atractions, but always end up at the pub...funny that!!! men enjoy the company of other men and the interaction is so different to a ladies day.
I have been running a men's group for over a year whereby a "male volunteer" comes to the facility and walk three of our residents to our local pub.
They have a couple of beers and play at least 3 games of snooker. They also have darts but prefer the snooker. They then go to our local Chinese a couple of doors further down from the pub and have a $6.00 meal as our local pub does not have a bistro.
The activity runs from 11.00am until 2.00pm. I'm lucky that our pub and restaurants are all walking distance. They go at least twice to three times per month. Katja Jefferys

Once again Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I live in a retirement village and calling on my years as a Diversional Therapist I constantly use the Golden Carers for new ideas to run my group in the village. I especially love the Read Aloud Audience Participation activity and I always pick a very shy resident to take a part. It is amazing how much it brings them out of their shell. The quiz always helps keeps their minds active and gives them such a feeling of self worth when they get a correct answer.
