Men's Group
The Men's Group normally meet on the first Wednesday of each month for an evening of interest and stimulating discussion.

The next meeting of the Men's Group (known locally as the 'Knights of St Michael) will be held on Wednesday 3rd September at 7.0 pm following a break for the summer holidays.

Last Christmas (2007) the 'Knights of St Michael's' produced a Joke Book that was been sold in aid of the Church restoration Fund. The first 'print-run' has sold out and copies are in great demand. The Group are contemplating another edition in a year's time.

Photographs of members taking part in some of the activities and meetings are shown below.

The members had an enjoyable evening at the Greenmeadow Golf Club in August where they had the opportunity to test their skills on the 'golf driving range'.

The Men's Group have said their 'farewell' to Fr Gareth Evans who retired at the end of April after nearly 7 years as Vicar at St Michael's Church. The Group arranged a 'Farewell Meal' at the Tamarind Indian Restraunt in Cwmbran where all the members of the group attended for a convivial evening.
