🎣 The Mental Health Benefits of Fishing
Fishing is more than just a hobby. It helps men step away from their busy lives and relax. The slow, steady process of fishing—casting a line, waiting, and focusing on the water—can be very calming. It helps lower stress and gives men time to clear their minds.
Spending time outdoors is also important for mental health. Being in nature can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and boost overall well-being. Fishing provides a chance to breathe fresh air, enjoy quiet moments, and feel a sense of achievement.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
A fully qualified facilitator and level 2 angling coach with over 30 years of angling experience. They will also provide fishing tackle, bait, etc. Please note that a rod licence to fish will be provided.
🎟 TICKET PRICE - £5
‘For Men To Talk’ ask for a non-refundable contribution amount of £5 per meeting.
Required attendees: 8 men. Tickets can be booked via the event link.

🎭 Rubbish Shakespeare Company & The Silly History Boys: The Story Forge - The Stables, Wavendon
Saturday 11 October 2025
Time: 14:00 - 15:00
🤭 Brace yourselves for pandemonium and tidal waves of laughter in this hilariously unique family-friendly theatrical adventure!
▪️AGES: Suitable for ages 7+
😷 WHAT TO EXPECT
Join the ludicrously learned (and undeniably loopy) duo, Professor Doctor Lee Hithersay and Doctor Professor Robert Rhys Bond, as they embark on a quest to forge three brand-new myths live on stage. Forget dusty history books – these academics unleash cardboard chaos and the boundless brilliance of your imagination!
The enigmatic ping of the microwave, the divine origin of the dog poo bag, the very secret of Marmite's existence – these are just a few of the profound mysteries The Story Forge has dared to explore using nothing but their wits, a chalkboard, and a whole lot of cardboard. Now, it's your turn to unleash your imagination and inspire even more hilarious and historically (in)accurate tales!
Will your adventure unfold on the sun-drenched shores of Ancient Egypt, amidst the icy fjords of Viking legend, or in the inky depths of Neptune's ocean? The choice is yours! Shape the narrative, suggest the world, and even take centre stage as the hero of your very own myth (participation entirely optional, shy souls still welcome!).
From the award-winning champions of children’s theatre, The Rubbish Shakespeare Company and Silly History Boys, comes an hour of high-octane fun for the whole family. Expect side-splitting clowning, choose-your-own-adventure thrills, physical comedy capers, spontaneous improvisation, toe-tapping live music, and a mountain of magnificent tridents, swords and shields made out of cardboard.
