FIRs (Friends in Retirement)
FIRs is a friendly, active group in parish, whose function is to provide opportunities for the 'young at heart' to meet together regularly, enjoy one another's company, have FUN (very important!!), and share in various interests and activities. Each year, there is a well-balanced programme of speakers, from different backgrounds. Everyone is welcome to come along to FIRs; come along for a warm welcome and an enjoyable afternoon.
The group meets on the second Thursday of each month, in the Meeting Room at St Columba's, from 2.00pm to 4.00pm.
The full list of speakers, with their topics, is included in the programme below:
