Occasionally it&#8217;ll be as few as seven but that&#8217;s rare; mostly it&#8217;s about 10 to 12 people,&#8221; Mr Healey said.<\/p>\n<p>He said anyone is welcome to participate, including women, although some aspects of the gatherings might not be suitable for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>A typical weekly agenda contains an item known as &#8216;What p****s me off&#8217;, while another is known as &#8216;Stuff-up of the Week&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s really quite competitive, that one,&#8221; Mr Healey said.<\/p>\n<p>Participants can also ask for advice on services or other things they need help with, and birthday celebrations with a cake also take place.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Healey said guest speakers are occasionally engaged, with a retired air crash investigator and a senior police officer among past presenters.<\/p>\n<p>A nurse also makes regular appearances and does presentations on topics nominated by program members, and outings and excursions are also regularly arranged.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone interested in getting involved can contact Mr Healey on 0418 302 335 or by email at <a href=\"mailto:kevin.w.healey@bigpond.com\">kevin.w.healey@bigpond.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOME may not be aware of it, but there&#8217;s a small, friendly group for men that meets weekly at the Ballan Neighbourhood House.
