Ever since the Reading & District Irish Association was formed in 1982, the association has always looked out for the elderly members of our community and that’s no different today as we host a Weekly Pensioner’s Club here at the Reading Irish Centre.

As an organisation, we were founded on the principles of preserving the Irish tradition and promoting the social, cultural and general welfare of our members but more recently, with gaps in the social care provision the Reading & District Irish Association now proudly supports the social and general welfare of the wider Reading community as well as it’s members.

Our Weekly Pensioner’s Club runs from 12:00 til 16:00 every Wednesday, allowing the elderly members of the wider community to meet new people, enjoy fun & games and socialise. For just £5 per person, we provide lunch with tea, coffee and biscuits included or for those that fancy a cheeky tipple or two the bar will be open.

We operate on a pay as you go session, so there’s no obligation to attend every week and there’s also no need to book.

We are explicitly non-political and non-denominational and have a number of active non-Irish members, everyone is welcome!

We hope to see you soon.
