gold coast
Grab life by the balls community

get to know jay our gold coast 'wingman'

Mick Thornlands wingman.webp

Why I got involved: I heard Sam on an ABC Radio interview speaking about the BBQ movement and at the same time as the new manager at Palm Beach Neighbourhood Centre I realised that we weren’t doing all we could in terms of supporting men to connect in the Southern Gold Coast region. I saw an opportunity here.

 

How long have you been a wingman? I have been Palm Beach/ Southern Gold Coast wingman for a 4 weeks now and enjoying the role of assisting provide a space and place for guys to meet and have a chin wag.

 

What does mateship mean to you? Someone to talk to and check in with and remind myself I’m not alone.

 

Favourite saying/quote: I’ve got all to gain and nothing to lose by asking the question, or trying something out.

 

Favourite movie: The Counsellor

 

Favourite food: Can’t go past Mexican Tacos.

 

Hand shake or a hugger? I’m mainly a knuckle punch and a hugger for those that prefer or need a hug.

 

What song would you choose for the Grab Life playlist? If I had to pick a song for our Grab Life playlist I'd choose……………???
