Probus Club

Fellowship, Friendship and Fun

Fellowship, Friendship and Fun
Retired and Loving it!


Our purpose is to provide regular gatherings for people no longer in full-time work who appreciate and value opportunities to meet others with similar interests.

Fellowship
Rising out of membership activities there is a self-generating goodwill, a diverse background of interests and a strong feeling of cordiality.

Friendship
Meeting new people, making new friends, discovering new interests are just some of the advantages of belonging to a Probus club.

Fun
Fostering companionship, social events and providing monthly meetings with interesting speakers. Occasional visits are also arranged, often to places not usually open to the public.

Our Meetings
Our core meetings are in the Compass on the first Tuesday of every month and if you think you may be interested in Probus, you are very welcome to come along to a meeting as a guest.

Membership
Should you be interested in joining the club, you will find an application form here or you can make an on-line membership application by clicking here.

National Emergency Alert

Sunday 7th September

Mobile phones in the UK will be sent a test Emergency Alert at around 1500 on Sunday 7 September, as part of plans to strengthen the country's preparedness. The Emergency Alerts system is used to warn if there's a danger to life nearby, including extreme weather. During the test, mobile phones will vibrate and make a loud siren sound for roughly ten seconds, even if they are set to silent. A message will also appear on the screen making it clear the alert is only a test. Click 'Read More' for further info.
