has been providing monthly companionship for retired and semi-retired men
from many walks of PROfessional and BUSiness life,
with the aim of helping to fill the void left after
their working lives have come, or are coming to an end.
Along with this meeting-up of like-minded people there comes a delicious 2 course meal
and a presentation of excellent speakers on a whole variety of interesting subjects.
Following a recent decision to extend membership to ladies
who are also from similar backgrounds to our existing Probus members,
we hope to encourage even greater diversity.
The Probus organisation is nationwide with international clubs as well,
but each club is autonomous, has its own committee, makes its own rules
and members can have a voice on how the club is run.
We hold our luncheons on the first Thursday of each month
(January meeting is held on the Second Thursday )
at the Freemasons Hall, Sheaf Close in Duston (NN5 7UL),
and meet up from 11.30am. for lunch at 12 noon.
The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly and we warmly welcome new members.
If this is something that you feel could enrich your time in retirement
but would first like to see for yourself what is on offer before you join,
please let us know and we can book a lunch for you.
This can be arranged through our
Club Secretary, Stan Brown,
who can be contacted by
e-mail at:- stanb5050@outlook,com
*The Committee has only recently been made aware that during the last few years important events have taken place in the lives of two of our members. However not having been advised of these events we were not able to either acknowledge or record them which has been a matter of some embarrassment to us. Obviously, we need better networking and to that end we ask all members to keep the Club Secretary advised of any major events in their lives and subject to their permission, the lives of other members. Examples of such events are significant birthdays, awards, celebrations, illness etc. Your help in this respect will enable us to foster the aims of PROBUS, that is friendship, fellowship and care for each other . Thank you.’ Best wishes,
