THE WANDERING MAN – WHAT A DAY

Today was something truly special.

We are incredibly grateful to Grovedale Cricket Club for welcoming us into the Tiger Den alongside South Barwon Cricket Club for such a powerful Men’s Well-being afternoon.

While both clubs were locked in a fierce battle on the field, they stood shoulder to shoulder off it — showing just as much passion and commitment to Men’s Mental Health. Fierce competitors, but even fiercer when it comes to looking after their people. That speaks volumes about the culture of both clubs. 👏

A huge thank you to Dave Seery from Dave Seery Caricatures — you brought laughter and energy to the BBQ with your incredible talent. Pure class. We absolutely love having you as part of the team. 🎨🔥

And what a moment unveiling the BBQ trailer…

Ray and Aldo nearly had me in tears at the start. The satisfaction, the effort, the heart that has gone into this project behind the scenes is unbelievable.
Special mention to Aldo, Todd and Ray, what an amazing job.
To George and everyone who has contributed along the way this is something we can all be proud of. 🚛🔥
To our incredible sponsors:

🥩 Grovedale Quality Meats
🎨 Indie Lime Branding & Design
We simply couldn’t do this without your support.

A big thank you to Matt Luttrell, President of Grovedale CC, and Bryan Thomas, Senior Bowling Coach, for your leadership and backing of this initiative. It makes a difference.
Most importantly the conversations.
The blokes loved it.

Real chats. Real connection. Real awareness raised.
This isn’t just a one-off.
This will be a yearly event.
And we’re coming to a club near you.
Proud. Grateful. United.

The Wandering Man Team

PROUD TO STAND WITH GROVEDALE & STH BARWON CRICKET CLUBS
We are incredibly proud to stand alongside Grovedale & South Barwon Cricket Clubs as they show real leadership in supporting Men’s Well-Being — not just on the field, but in our community.
When local sporting clubs create space for conversations that matter, it sends a powerful message:
You’re not alone. We’ve got your back.
This Saturday, come and see us. Be part of something bigger.
________________________________________
🔥 FROM THE PITCH TO PURPOSE – MEN’S WELL-BEING AT THE TIGER DEN 🔥
Fierce competitors on the field. United for something far bigger off it.
Grovedale & Sth Barwon Cricket Clubs and The Wandering Man are joining forces for a special afternoon focused on connection, community and men’s well-being.
And we’ll also be doing a soft launch of our new Wandering Man BBQ Trailer 👏
This trailer represents community support, teamwork and a whole lot of hard work behind the scenes. We’d love you to come down, check it out, and celebrate this next step with us.
Open to everyone — men and women welcome.
Too many blokes carry the weight of life silently. Creating spaces where men can come together — have a yarn, share a laugh, watch the cricket and feel supported — is how we build stronger men and stronger communities.

🥩 Meat pack raffles after 5pm
