Helensburgh Probus is enjoying the chance to meet friends again, writes publicity officer Helen Durham
After a long wait for restrictions to be lifted we were able to have our November meeting at Gymea Tradies. It was great to meet with our Probus friends after a long absence. At this meeting our guest speaker was Jim Haynes, an author and storyteller. He was very entertaining, giving us sample stories and tales from his two books about Australian yarns and other true stories.
Our first social activity after the restrictions was a picnic at Stanwell Park, with more than 60 members in attendance. It was a great day socialising with different groups spread out under the shade of the trees.
Unfortunately, when we were able to resume our monthly game of lawn bowls in October it was washed out. Our November game with 16 players was played under dull, overcast skies and a little drizzle. The rain didn’t dampen our spirits and we all enjoyed playing. The rain then settled in, so no afternoon session was played.
Our golfers have also returned to the golf course with their first game at Calderwood. With 15 players, they played in good weather on a course in great shape.
