Welcome to the Combined Probus Club of Belrose Inc
Club President – Mike Hartnell
Greetings everyone!
Welcome to November, the last month of Spring. Much of the countryside is so lush and green, as 29 of us saw on our marvellous trip to Mudgee.
In October we tried new seating arrangements for our general meeting. This was intended to give us a better chance to mix with and welcome new members to our club. Thanks everyone for going along with our idea for the one meeting. Hope you have all made new friends. So far we only have had positive feedback and that is a testament to our members and our committee who wanted to try this to celebrate Probus month.
Thanks especially to Alison, Margaret and Cherry, who made it happen, and to Robyn for the Probus coloured blue and yellow balloons. Next to our 4 day trip to Zig Zag Railway, Mudgee and Gulgong. No laggards in our club. Everyone was bright and early, keen and enthusiastic every time the bus took us anywhere. We had a wonderful driver, Peter, with a cheery, helpful personality who did lots of things to make our holiday as good as possible. Our accommodation was spacious and comfortable and the trip was a great success. Thanks everyone!
Vicki at the stud farm said her horse to watch in the Melbourne Cup is Birdman!
In November we have lots to look forward to. First a visit to The Little Snail for lunch. The Little Snail has been widely acclaimed by several Probus clubs who have been there and also by our own Peter and Barbara Moxham. Should be a great day.
Check the social report for transport options. If necessary, parking is possible a few hundred metres away at Wilson Parking but public transport should be good.
Our November speaker is Mike Munro. Highly recommended by other Probus clubs and one not to be missed. Thanks Cherry.
On 20th November 29 of us will be going to Gosford Chocolate Factory for a delicious High Tea and general chocolateering. We are doing this on a car share basis. If you don’t have transport organized please contact me and we will get it sorted.
Thanks to our hard-working committee for making all these good things happen.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Mike
Thought for the month:
Three stages of success:
1. Believe – I can do it!
2. Commitment – I will do it!
3. Action – I am doing it!
