The Mens Table is a grassroots community organisation that invites men to connect and talk over a simple meal once a month to have genuine conversations, form meaningful connections, and build support communities amongst themselves.
Each Table is made up of between 8-12 men who meet in the same place and day of the month, guided by principles called “The Fundamentals” that help them go beyond the usual male banter.
According to Eric Balinghasay, Regional Host for The Men’s Table, there are now more than 200 Men’s Tables all over the country with new ones forming every month. Including Tables in Baulkham Hills, Castle Hill, Rouse Hill and other areas in the Hills District. There are no membership or joining fees ; and men just pay for their own dinner.
Due to community requests for more Tables and with funding support from the Western Sydney PHN (Primary Health Network), an introduction dinner called an Entrée will be held at The Castle Hill Tavern on Wednesday, August 7 (630-9pm).
As seats are limited, registration is required which you can do here : https://events.humanitix.com/the-hills-men-s-table-entreewednesday-7-august-2024.

“It’s great to connect with men who I probably would never have talked to … or even connected to in my “regular life”. Their experiences and stories widen my perspective on my life.”
“I have been supported through the highs and lows of relationships, parenting and business. It’s now like a second family for me.”
“I’m grateful for this group where men can be themselves and not behave based on specific roles or expectations assigned to them.”
