PROBUS CLUBS for active retirees.
PROBUS is an amalgam of the words PROfessional and BUSiness.
Probus is an association of retired and semi-retired people who join together in Clubs, the basic purpose of which is to provide regular opportunities to keep their minds active, expand their interests and to enjoy the fellowship of new friends.
All clubs are sponsored by Rotary Clubs, but, on formation are self governing, but must always remain within the limits of their Constitution.
The emphasis is on clubs....
Being simple in structure, and free from the constraints and obligations of service Clubs.
Involving members in minimum cost.
Being directed, primarily, to providing the opportunity for extension of aquaintance and interests.
Seeking members who are compatible with one another.
Activities

- A formal meeting on a set day each month
This comproses a Club business session, a coffee break followed by a guest speaker and/or discussion on a topic of mutual interest.
- Outings (between meetings)
to places or organisations of interest to members, theatre, sosial or sporting occasions. These may include overnight trips, tours and walks.
