Welcome to the Combined Probus Club of Belrose
Coming Events
A number of short term events have been cancelled at this stage due to COVID-19 developments.
A Message from President Peter
Greetings Probus’ friends,
Our club has grown from humble beginnings 13 years ago to a thriving, active membership today.
Sadly, I am unable to say when we will be able to resume our monthly meetings. Large groups can now assemble indoors but still with appropriate spacing. I doubt that at the moment this will work at our Uniting Church venue.
Another difficulty is the popular morning tea break. Major changes will be required to comply with the new protocols.
You will note that our anniversary luncheon has unfortunately had to be postponed – it will be held over to next year.
It was very pleasing to note that Helen Miles has organized the first walking group outing for several months. Some of our members are now attending gyms but with limited numbers.
We’re not out of the woods yet but can see the sun rising again.
Cheers, Peter
