Welcome, Probus president Pam Carter

By publicity officer Helen Durham

Helensburgh Probus recently held our AGM, where we welcomed our new president, Pam Carter, and our 2023 committee.

In February we celebrated our 19th birthday with a delicious cake. Our guest speaker was Sharon Gissane who talked about NINA and its various services, as one day some of us will need them. Sharon provided valuable information.

Other recent activities have included a four-day Australia Day cruise on the Pacific Adventure. Thirty-four members enjoyed watching the Australia Day activities while the ship was anchored in the harbour. On the other days,
we cruised up the NSW coast.

Our visit to the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park was very informative. We attended a short Service of Remembrance around the Statue of the Fallen Warrior and a tour. On our Bass and Flinders luncheon cruise up the Georges River we enjoyed lovely weather. The weather for our first two games of bowls was also kind – sunny and very warm. Games are played every first Thursday of the month at Wombarra Bowlo. Our golf members play at different clubs every second Friday.

New members are welcome. We meet at Tradies Helensburgh every second Thursday of the month. We are a fun group of friendly, active retirees.
