At the Book Group we read one book a month selected by our members from a substantial list provided by Largs Library.  The range of titles is very varied and we score each one at the end of the session.

The Sundown Players Drama Group meets weekly between September and March. The group aims to put on a live show every March, performing to an audience of OIR members, family and friends. We have performed a variety of plays and sketches including comedies, pantomimes, staged radio plays and murder mysteries with subjects ranging from the farcical to current issues and social history.

We are a group of over 20 people, keen to learn about local geology, and to go on excursions to the sites of Ayrshire, Inverclyde, Glasgow and the islands of the Firth of Clyde which are of geological interest. We are also interested in learning about the geology of the world.

Life Writing is to study the practice, ethics and theory of writing.  We explore through lively discussions on the writing of Biographies, and Auto Biographies of various authors.

We are a lively, curious group who enjoy exploring fundamental questions about our world and our place in it through reflection, critical thinking and focussed discussion.

This friendly Group meets from September to the end of May.

For the first hour we read a play, followed by a short break for coffee and a chat before starting our poetry reading.

The plays we read are chosen to cater for a wide variety of tastes and range from comedies to those with a slightly more complex plot.

We are a lively, friendly and enthusiastic group and average about 17 to 20 people at each meeting.

We have no tutor/teacher and it falls to our talented members to volunteer to deliver a talk, some as short as 5 mins, others longer. There is no pressure on anyone to give a talk.
