  • Girls Only: The Growing Trend of Women Only Clubs and Organisations

    28 Jan 2009 0 comments

    Remember the sign outside the clubhouse door that said “NO Girls Allowed”? As much as it may have hurt us then, we haven’t let the “boys only” mentality slow us down. Today, clubs geared towards women are cropping up in the most unlikely of places, thus making it harder for men to feel like they have cornered the market on same-sex only clubs.

    Do any of you collect stamps? I used to when I was younger and now my youngest son seems to have caught the stamp collecting bug. He got loads of stamps/stamp books/stamp collecting kits etc for Christmas, and he’s spent many happy and fascinated hours going through them all with his dad.
