The Capel Men’s Group has been meeting in Capel for the last 30 years. We meet 7 times a year to enjoy a variety of activities which including listening to interesting speakers, eating good food, enjoying a summer BBQ, and last but not least, getting together with friends and having a drink together. Our normal meetings start with a dinner together followed by a speaker and discussion. We currently meet at the Duke’s Head. Our speakers are varied, some with local topics and others more general, for example our talk in February will be on Capel history and in March, tower Bridge London. The main purpose of the Capel Men’s Group is to promote a sense of community within the men of the village, to enjoy each other’s company and at the same time to support local charities and good causes such as the Capel Almshouses, Capel Youth Club and the Capel Brownies. Wives and partners are invited to two of our events each year, the summer BBQ and the January Ladies night. New members are always welcome. Please call David Steel on 01306711711 if you would like to know more about the Capel Men’s Group or are interested in becoming a member.

Capel Men’s Group Ladies Night
On Friday the 18th January the Capel mens Group entertained their Ladies to Dinner at the newly refurbished Dukes Head. Despite the snow falling heavily 50 hardy souls ventured out. We were not to be disappointed for our efforts!
Graham and his staff had really pulled out all the stops. Special round tables and crisp white linen ware had been specially brought in for the occasion. On our arrival we were greeted with a mouthwatering variety of canapés whilst waiting to join our tables. We then were treated to an excellent four course dinner (including a refreshing sorbet which we were not expecting)! After Dinner it was a pleasure to introduce Graham to our members and he rightfully received loud applause. I am sure that this will not be the last time we will be dining at the Dukes.
Capel Mens Group currently has 50 members from Capel and the immediate surrounds. We are a dining club that also raises a small amount of money that once a year we donate to local causes, the emphasis being on local. We are a relaxed group of individuals from all sorts of backgrounds who enjoy good food and each other’s company.
We meet four times a year at the Crown for a three-course dinner followed by a talk. The speaker is usually either someone talking about a local topic or local talking about a topic that is his passion or special interest. We also hold a Ladies Night in January and a BBQ in July. If anyone would like to found more please call Jonathan Graesser on 711605.
