SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 6
Free BBQ for Men, Bargo Sportsground
For Dads who enjoy a delicious barbecue brunch, community organisation Mr Perfect is hosting a free BBQ at the Bargo Sportsground this Sunday morning from 10am – 12 noon.
Mr Perfect is a community organisation that connects men across Australia over a relaxed free BBQ to chat about all things life.
But they are more than a BBQ.
Online they also provide quality resources for the good of men's mental health.
One question they ask is – why do it?
Because conversation (and listening) always helps. Weather, work, footy, family challenges and life changes.
Also getting outside in the sunshine is healthy and an antidote to the COVID-age isolation, meeting a welcoming bunch of guys.
It’s also about meeting and making new mates.
The Mr Perfect community has met outside of the BBQ, to cycle, have coffee and form vital support networks.
The Bargo Sportsground is located at 96 Radnor Rd, Bargo. For more information, email them at hello@mrperfect.org.au, visit their Facebook page or the website at https://mrperfect.org.au/.
