Stoke Poges Men's Group

Time set aside for men to encourage and be encouraged.

A big welcome from the Stoke Poges Men’s Group.  If you have not been to one of our events, then please read on to find out what you are missing!  During the year we run curry nights, dinners, Saturday morning breakfasts, activity evenings (skittles etc.) and visits to interesting venues.  There is something for everyone!  We are not an exclusive group but very inclusive and guys from a wide area (not just from Stoke Poges) come along to our events.  We are open to everyone – guys of all faiths and none are always given a very warm welcome.

At some of our events we invite a special guest who will give a talk on a specific topic, and during their talk they will usually share something of their Christian faith and how it has guided and influenced them during their lives.

Our group is affiliated to a UK organisation called Christian Vision for Men who run an annual conference for men and support men’s groups throughout the UK.
 
Men’s Breakfast – Saturday 26th September 2026
 
Everyone is invited to come along and join us on this last Saturday in September to enjoy a hearty cooked breakfast following by a fascinating and interesting talk from our speaker.  The venue is the Charista Café which is located in Farnham Common, a venue that specialises in all-day breakfasts.  It opened earlier this year and we have been very impressed by the quality of their food.  Coffee, tea and soft drinks will be provided from 8:00am with breakfast served from 8:30am.  Our speaker is Graeme Jenner, a guy who has the inside story on The Great Escape.  Graeme lives in Iver and has offered to come and share with us personal insights on an amazing WW2 event – The Great Escape.  His father-in-law was a navigator in Bomber Command, normally flying Lancasters and was shot down over Holland, ending up in Stalag Luft 3 – the location of the Great Escape itself.  In his talk, Graeme will show us what life in the camp was really like, what the daily routines were and how the PoW’s spent their time.  He will share with us how the Escape plan unfolded, how the tunnels were actually built and the timeline on what happened on the night itself.  Graeme has a fascinating presentation together with letters, telegrams and other personal memorabilia.  His father-in-law’s experience during the war really tested his faith, but when the war was over, he found that God had a plan for him.  Following his talk, Graeme will take questions and we should finish by 10:15am.
