Calling active retirees

Helensburgh Probus is looking for new members. We are a fun group of very friendly, active retirees. We meet at Helensburgh Tradies every second Thursday of the month. We have special guest speakers and afterwards many of us enjoy lunch at the Tradies Bistro.

We have a variety of activities each month. These include ‘foot and mouth’ walks – a walk, train or ferry ride followed by lunch – monthly golf and lawn bowls.

Upcoming trips this year include a coach trip to Parkes and surrounds and a coach trip to Canberra Floriade. Day activities will include a tour of the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park, a Bass and Flinders luncheon cruise, High Tea at Parliament House and day bus trips to interesting places.

Past activities have included a great day bus trip to the Auburn Botanical Gardens and an enjoyable Christmas party at Headlands Hotel in Austinmer. At our January meeting, we held a Friendship Day – members just mingled and chatted.

Our next big adventure is an Australia Day Cruise with 34 members taking to the high seas for four days.

At our February meeting, we will be celebrating the club’s 19th birthday with a delicious cake. Our guest speaker for that meeting is Sharon Gissane, who’ll be talking about NINA services.

If you’re interested in joining our wonderful club please contact Lilian, our Membership Officer, at palsfx@gmail.com or 0408 668 987.
