Coming Events
A number of short term events have been cancelled at this stage due to COVID-19 developments.
A Message from President Peter
I hope you are all in good health.
I notice the Government’s regulations are mostly being observed in our area. Lots of walkers and we have seen a number of fellow Probians strolling around.
Those of us who were intending to travel to Croatia were disappointed to hear that the tour has been postponed for 12 months. This was the only course of action available and none were more disappointed than Russell Allsop and Tony Lovett who have done all the detailed planning. So almost 18 months before we set off.
I am reminded by the words of Gough Whitlam as he approached his 90th birthday, “I don’t make appointments more than three months ahead”. We are not there yet so should be okay!
In the May 2020 newsletter our resident poet, Kevin Radford, gives his take on our current situation and I give a brief insight into our Forest Founding Father, James Harris French.
Cheers for now and KBO
Peter
