Opportunities In Retirement (O.I.R.)


The aim of the association is to harness the wealth of knowledge in the 50+ age group of retired people and to pass this knowledge to others through activity and interest groups.

Our current programme runs from January to May 2009 in Portland Church Hall. Membership Fee of £8 includes all activities except Lawn Tennis and Badminton.
