Men living in Petersfield and surrounding areas will have the opportunity to engage in a new community group.

Next year, The Next Wave Society will launch for men aged 55 years and above, who want to connect with like minded people, explore new pursuits, learn new things, drink wine and have fun.

Based in Petersfield, it will include monthly local meet ups with interesting talks, washed down with your favourite tipple, and additional activities that go beyond the ordinary. Such as fishing adventures, sushi masterclasses, vineyard tours, horse racing and even dog-walking socials.

Steve Shaw from The Next Wave Society, said: “Join us for great company, great times and the opportunity to keep your calendar filled with experiences you won’t forget. We’re excited to welcome you aboard!

“We’re redefining what it means to be 55+ and embracing the energy, excitement and adventure life still has to offer. Every gathering is about fun, learning and camaraderie, all in a no-pressure, relaxed, social setting.

“Ready to catch the Next Wave ? It’s easy to join! Whether you’re coming along solo or bringing a friend, we’ll make sure you feel right at home.”

Quoting Steve Hawk, Mr Shaw added: “The best wave of your life is still out there!”
