We have our own book club with a wide range of books available for players to enjoy. A full list of titles can be found here Book Club List of Titles. If you’d like to borrow a book please speak to any member of the Committee and we’ll help you out.
Walking Tennis at Oriam is fun and inclusive whether you’re a regular tennis player, a complete beginner or any level in-between. The 1hr Oriam scheduled sessions are typically available on Tuesdays & Fridays @ 13.00hrs and are free to anyone with the walking sports monthly membership.
If the scheduled session times on Tuesday & Friday don’t suit, there is also the option to book a tennis court ourselves. Everything needed to get started is available for hire at the Oriam reception.
Contact Tony Brogan or Pete Kedslie, if you’re interested in coming along.
Some of our Walking Footballers regularly play Badminton.
We normally play on a Wednesday at 10:30 with some of us going on to play the Walking Football session at 12:00. It’s an ideal warm up.
The session costs £2.50 per person and you don’t have to have an Oriam membership to play!
We are also very open to starting other Badminton sessions at different times or days should people want this.
All levels of players from beginner onwards are welcome and racquets are available to hire from Oriam reception at £3 per session.
Contact Stuart Campbell, Pete Kedslie or Deric Oliver if you’re interested in coming along.
Our Walking Group meet monthly and enjoy walks around Edinburgh which always seem to end with lunch. They’ve enjoyed walks along the Water of Leith, Duddingston and Arthurs Seat, Hermitage and Corstorphine Hill to name but a few.
Family and friends, including the four legged variety, are also very welcome.
Contact Thomson Bruce if you’re interested in coming along.
