When “Sons of the West” completed its 2018 season, a number of the graduating members decided that they wanted to create a group that continued on with what they had experienced. They wanted a program that went for 52 weeks of the year, not just the 10 weeks for 3 years that SOTW offered.
Meetings were held at the Melton Library in June 2018 and the Melton Men’s Group was born. This was established as an incorporated, Not-For-Profit Organisation on 1st July 2018 with a foundation membership of 27. As at 22nd February 2024 the active membership of this Group has grown to in excess of 90.

“Provide support to the members of the group through the promotion of mental and physical wellbeing within an environment of friendship and respect.”
