Club marks 18th with cake

Probus is a club for active retirees for friendship, fellowship and fun. Our monthly meetings are held on the second Thursday of the month at Tradies Helensburgh. New members are welcome.

Our Probus members enjoy monthly meetings with an interesting guest speaker, monthly walks and other enjoyable activities. We have active groups who play golf once a month at different courses and lawn bowls are played monthly at Scarborough-Wombarra Bowling Club. Bus trips and holidays within Australia are planned throughout the year and also overseas jaunts.

In February at our meeting we celebrated our 18th birthday with a delicious cake.

Our guest speaker, Mr Kelly from Owen and Hodge Lawyers, spoke about the importance of an up-to-date Will and Enduring Power of Attorney.

We enjoyed a Bass and Flinders cruise along the Georges River from Sans Souci to Illawong and back, then through the waterways of Sylvania Waters, with morning tea and a lovely buffet lunch.

At our February Bowls day 22 players tried to remember how to play after so many washed-out monthly Thursdays. Unfortunately, March was cancelled due to another downpour.

Our golfers have enjoyed two monthly games, one on a very wet course at Wollongong.

All positions were filled at our AGM and we’ve returned to Helensburgh Tradies for all meetings.

Our new President is Peter Dawson.
