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.
The men’s group had been looking forward to a Men’s Breakfast on Saturday 16th May, but sadly the venue that had been booked for this breakfast have stopped hosting events. It is therefore with great regret that we have had to postpone this Men’s Breakfast until we have found a replacement venue. The following event (see below) will still go ahead in July.
Curry Night - Tuesday 14th July 2026
We will be making a return visit to the Memories of India restaurant in Farnham Common in July for another Curry Night. Even if you are a little wary of eating curry, you can be assured that the menu will have been carefully chosen so that there is something for everyone. The evening will commence at 7:30pm with drinks from the bar and we start our 2-course buffet at 8pm. Our speaker is Rob Santer, the London Regional Director for CVM (Christian Vision for Men), the organisation our men’s group is affiliated to. Rob began his working life as a financial consultant and as his career progressed, he co-founded the Ascenbury Loure Partnership, a financial advisory firm. In 2010, after 20 years as a financial consultant, he felt it was time for a complete change in direction. Drawing upon his wealth of experience in business and his passion for coaching, Rob decided to train as a Certified Professional Life Coach with the Christian Coaching Institute. Rob’s involvement in men’s ministry began in 2003 when he started a men’s group at his local church. His men’s group rapidly grew into a network of over 40 churches and in 2014 he became CVM’s Regional Director for the London area. Rob is a family man with 3 children and whenever time allows, he enjoys photography, music, running and watching motorsport. After his talk, there will be a question and answer session and the evening should finish at approximately 10:15pm.
