Our Men’s Group started at Barnhill St Margaret’s during COVID lockdown, providing an opportunity for regular social contact for men in the congregation. Our meetings were initially virtual, but as conditions eased we were able to transition to normal, face-to-face activities.
We meet monthly on the second Wednesday of the month. Sometimes we visit a museum, or have a guest speaker, or have lunch or simply visit a cafe for a chat. The Men’s Group is open to all and we welcome new members.
Our Christmas meal has been booked at the Milton Hotel in Monifieth , on December 11. Details to follow.
We are keen to attract new members from across the congregation. If you would like to know more about the Men’s Group please call Graham McKee by e-mail: Graham.mckee@hotmail.co.uk
Invented in the USA in 1965, pickleball is at present the fastest growing sport in the world. It is a pacy racquet sport, described as a mixture between tennis, badminton and table tennis, often played on a badminton court. It is played with a paddle and a plastic ball with holes called a wiffle.
Pickleball is fun, social and friendly; the rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a fast-paced, competitive game.
Our group meet at the Queen Street East main hall on Monday from 7.00pm until 8.45pm approx.
During the summer months, on fine evenings, we play on the esplanade courts, beside the Glass Pavillion. We are a friendly group of ladies, most of whom are members of Broughty Ferry Parish Church. We enjoy occasional social evenings out for meals
At present, unfortunately we have no vacancies available.

WRBF is a group of volunteers working to help refugees displaced by war or the threat of war. We started in 2016 in response to the wave of refugees arriving in Europe as a result of war in the Middle East, and since then have helped refugees from Ukraine as well as supporting asylum seekers. We operate as an enabler, linking volunteers with opportunities to support refugees at home and overseas, whether in conversation classes, in sports or social events, and in providing clothing and other items. WRBF grew out of the Broughty Ferry Churches and is supported by the Broughty Ferry Churches Group.
We are looking for new volunteers for interesting and rewarding work!
