PROBUS CLUB OF KINGSTON UPON
THAMES
|
|
Our new President, Chris Shires Welcome to our Website. It serves to inform members of current
activities and provide information to potential new members. Membership is open
to retired or partially retired professional and businessmen. Hence the name
“Probus”. There are about 5000 Probus Clubs world-wide with over 300,000 members. We are
independent of each other. We are looking for more
members so if you would like to consider joining us, come as a guest, you
will be made welcome. To contact us: double click on our Committee link below
or come as a guest of any other member. At our June luncheon, we were joined by our ladies as
usual. Our invited speaker was unable
to attend. At very short notice Bob Belton devised a quiz which certainly
tested our general knowledge. |
Our
activities consist of two parts:
1.
A monthly
meeting every second Tuesday of the month at the Hotel Antoinette, Kingston upon
Thames, consisting of half an hour in the bar (beginning at 12:15 p.m.) then
luncheon followed by a speaker on a topic of mutual interest.
