Welcome to the Combined Probus Club of Belrose Inc
MOCCO’S MUSINGS
Musings definition – a period of reflections or thought.
Greetings All,
It’s been a busy few weeks as we prepare for our Annual General Meeting. Our secretary, Alison has been working hard making sure the proceedings go smoothly.
Our yearly end of term get together lunch was held at the Forest Hotel with over 30 attendees present, comprising the committee and our all important sub committee and their partners. We were allocated a private area, known as the Stag Room. It was a very enjoyable couple of hours.
Last Tuesday Vice President Mike and I attended a Probus Northern Beaches meeting. The various probus clubs send delegates to report on recent activities and guest speakers. On the agenda was an item concerning the lack of members willing to volunteer for committee positions. So our own club is not alone with this problem. Recently a probus club in the Narrabeen area had to fold due to its inability to fill committee positions.
On the subject of volunteers, we are losing three valued committee members at our AGM, Margaret Ayre, Marg Lovett and Colin Fordred. All are retiring. All three have made major contributions to the success of our club in recent years.
Well, this is my final report for the newsletter. I have enjoyed considering subjects on which to write. It was not a difficult task as we have so many various activities to report on. However I might miss our editor, Jenny Jones prompting me to hurry up and send her my message at the end of each month!
I hope you found some of the “thoughts of the month” interesting.
In closing I wish the incoming committee all the very best for the year ahead.
Cheers
President Peter
Thought for the month.
