Icebreakers next meeting Thursday 3rd October 2024 – Meeting will be at The Friends Meeting House from 7:15pm

After a long break Icebreakers have restarted meetings this August at The Friends Meeting House, 6 Mount Street, Manchester M2 5NS, behind the Central Library in St Peter’s Square . What 3 Words location ///news.rail.hatch. Some of you will remember Icebreakers have used this venue before just after Covid restrictions ended.

On arrival at the meeting house, with the round library behind you , walk up the steps and enter the building through the central blue door. Once inside you will find a reception desk with a large TV screen displaying the room number that we will be using. Disabled access to the building round the side road on the right. Note that some of the meeting rooms are upstairs, a lift is available for those who need it.

Because we now have to pay for room hire we will have to limit meetings to 1 a month, at the moment, and looking to hold 2 trial meetings over the next few months, to test the strength of interest, after the first 2 meetings we may possibly try other venues,

To keep costs down we will not be providing tea and biscuits, if you want to bring your own drink that’s ok but you should take the empty can or bottle with you when you leave.

If you are a past service user of Icebreakers and still in contact with others please could you let them know we’re starting up again and to keep an eye on the website for updates

Members of the Gay Married Men’s group, which isn’t meeting at the moment, are also welcome to come to Icebreakers
