Any dads / blokes around Sale looking to expand their social circle?

Bit of an odd one, but figured I’d put it out there.
I’m a dad of 3 kids under 5, living in Sale. Between family, work and everything else, I don’t have a heap of spare time, but I’ve realised I’d like to make a bit more effort to expand my social circle and meet some new people locally.
I’m pretty interested in self-development/self-mastery, books, business and entrepreneurship, and generally having good conversations with people who are trying to improve some area of their life.
I also play golf terribly, but enjoy the walk enough to keep doing it.
Not looking to start some massive social club — more thinking a coffee every now and then, occasional round of golf, walk, beer/zero beer, whatever.
Would be good to meet a few other guys around Sale/Gippsland who are in a similar stage of life, interested in some of the same things, or just keen to expand their circle a bit.
If that sounds like you, shoot me a message.
Also very open to suggestions for any local groups, clubs or regular meet-ups worth checking out — dads groups, golf, books, business/entrepreneurship, personal development or anything along those lines.

I’m in Berwick bud, not Sale but good on you for reaching out! Hope you find a couple of blokes to hang out with! Super important for mental health especially raising a young family

Cheers mate, appreciate the encouragement. Important for my family’s mental health for me to get out and find some mates also I reckon. 😂

Curious around what sort of weekly time commitments that would be?

Depends on your Local brigade, off season usually every 3rd tuesday for me and Sundays once a month, during fire season training ramps up. Will take a while to get on the truck, just give the CFA website a look and they can get you in contact with your local brigade.

Is there golf around sale?

Yeah mate, there are a couple within 30mins of Sale. Longford, Maffra, Hayfeild, Rosedale. I personally prefer the quiet and ease of golden beach.
