Turning the page on men’s health

Key points

• Men in Beaudesert gather at the Beaudesert Hotel on the first Wednesday of each month to discuss books and life. The group is the Scenic Rim Chapter of Tough Guy Book Club, which first met in July.
• Its president, Dale Rogers, says the club gives men a regular reason to socialise, which matters in a region where towns and properties are far apart. The group was founded in Melbourne in 2012 and now has more than 150 chapters in several countries.
• New members are welcome, with no fees and no need to finish the book.
