Cape Fear Men's Club Activities
Currently there are over 35 different activities our members enjoy. Each group has a coordinator who plans the activities, and communicates with the members on the date, time, and location when that group meets. |
Here's a sampling of our interests:
|

Bowling
If you're looking for one of the Men's Club's most enjoyable and social activities, come join our bowling group at Beach Bowl Cardinal Lanes, located at 7026 Market Street, just past the Military Cutoff overpass. We bowl twice each week: After our Friday games, many of us head to the Ogden Tap Room for lunch and refreshments—a great opportunity to relax and enjoy good company. No advance RSVP is required. Just arrive about 15 minutes before bowling begins. The cost is only $9 for three games, and bowling shoes and balls are provided at no additional charge. Whether you're an experienced bowler or just looking to have some fun, we'd love to have you join us!
Bridge The Bridge Group meets on the second and fourth Thursday of each month at Rosalie's on Market. Players are assigned to tables of four, with two to four tables depending on attendance. Members who would like to enjoy lunch before the game are encouraged to arrive between 12:00 and 12:15 p.m. Play begins promptly at 1:00 p.m. We use Chicago scoring, rotating partners after every four hands, and our games typically conclude around 3:00 p.m.
If you're interested in joining us or would like more information, we'd be happy to hear from you. |
Our group welcomes players of all skill levels, and the atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, and social. Whether you're an experienced bridge player or looking to get back into the game, you'll find a great group to play with.Cigar Club Meet other local Cigar Enthusiasts.

Fiction & Non-fiction Book Club
We meet every 3rd Wednesday from 1:00pm - 3:00pm at the Ogden Tap Room. Usually our attendance is from 10 to 15 people which lends itself to some very interesting discussions on the book chosen. We select the 12 books for the year from a list generated and voted on by the group late the previous year. The section varies quite a bit given the diversity of the members. Typically, more Fiction than non-Fiction although the two non-fiction books this year are quite good. One by Erik Larson and the other by Ezra Klein. New members are always welcome, even just to test out their interest in the group. The book for the month’s read is always listed in the Clubs monthly newsletter.
Golf The Men’s Club Golf Group enjoys friendly competition and camaraderie on the fairways throughout the Cape Fear region. Members gather every week or two to play a

variety of local courses, welcoming golfers of all skill levels. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just enjoy spending time outdoors with friends, the Golf Group offers a great opportunity to enjoy the game, explore area courses, and build lasting friendships.Headline News This group will review today’s current events featured on print newspapers and magazine front pages, broadcast media, and social media, discussing them during our monthly meetings held on the fourth Thursday of each month. The group is open to all CFMC members. |

Larry Schram High Nooners Luncheon and Presentation
A popular monthly feature that brings local community leaders, as well as club member expertise, for presentations to an appreciative audience. Spirited Q&A after each presentation always reaches and covers items of particular interest to audience members.

 |  |
Hiking
Hiking on or off trail can be vigorous or relaxing. The idea of taking a hike in our area is about observing the landscape and nature with friends and enjoying the experience. |
|
| History Discussion The History Discussion Group is a gathering where members come together to explore and discuss the past. Participants talk about historical events, influential people, and the broader social, political, and cultural forces behind major turning points—often spanning from ancient civilizations to more recent history. |
|
|
Kayaking
One of the more popular club activities is about enjoying nature and our area's waterways with our CFMC friends. Kayaking excursions are designed for the beginner and expert paddlers.
|

Pickleball The Pickleball Group meets every Monday from 10:00 a.m. to noon at Pickle & Taps, an indoor facility on 13th Street in Wilmington. The venue provides a comfortable, climate-controlled environment where members can enjoy the game year-round without worrying about heat, rain, or other weather conditions. Each session features two hours of fun and friendly competition on two courts—and a third court when needed. Members dink, volley, serve, and occasionally debate the Whether you're new to pickleball and eager to learn or an experienced player looking to sharpen your skills, you'll find a welcoming group ready to play. New participants can register at the front desk during their first visit and then use the Court Reserve app to sign up for future sessions.

score, but they always enjoy great camaraderie both on and off the court.
Shooting Sports The Shooting Sports group is dedicated to bringing members together in a safe and friendly environment where they can improve their shooting skills no matter their experience level. No animals are harmed during our shoots – just paper targets and flying clay disks (and, in truth, sometimes those are just barely grazed).
Our shooters range from professionally experienced to those who have never fired a gun. We pair experienced shooters with novices so that new shooters feel, first and foremost, safe in handling and shooting a firearm, and can gain the skill and comfort that comes through camaraderie and practice. We have a shooting event almost every month, sometimes shooting pistols at local indoor or outdoor venues, sometimes shooting shotguns on a trap or skeet field or a sporting clays course. No gun? No problem. You can rent one at all our venues while deciding whether ownership is right for you. So if you’ve been thinking about taking up the sport, and would like to do it in a safety-focused and fun environment, join the group and meet the guys! |
