Men's Weekend 2026

We moving things up a gear for our Men's Weekend as we embrace all things motorvehicle.  Our speaker, George Conn, is a motor vehicle engineer, having served his time in a garage and lectured in college.  He also served with The Faith Mission for many years.

Earn your bragging rights if you choose to take part in the Karting sessions at Kiltorcan on the Saturday. (Limited spaces)

Plan to commit to attending for the entire duration, if possible, and not miss out on any aspect of our time together. If you are unable to attend the full weekend, then just come for the Saturday.  Numbers are limited, and ideally we would hope that most men would be willing to share a room with someone else, if required. 

The weekend is open to all men, 20 years old and upwards.

Details

The Durrow Centre was opened in 2012 with an additional sports hall and meeting rooms added in 2015.  Accommodation is in heated en-suite rooms, each suitable for two men.
