Surbiton Probus Moves to Surbiton
Founded in 1971 Surbiton
Probus Club has until now always met at the Antoinette Hotel in Kingston.
But now the members have decided to move on and all meetings
will foregather at Glenmore House conveniently situated at No 6 The Crescent, within minutes of central Surbiton and its excellent travel
facilities.
Probus is a luncheon club
with a difference. Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of every month
to enjoy a good meal, companionship and an interesting talk. Speakers cover
a wide range of subjects from the worlds of work, sport, the arts, hobbies,
to the environment and so on. Weekends away (with partners) usually take
place in the spring and autumn and have become very popular.
Membership is open to men
who have retired or partly retired and who have worked in a professional or
business environment. Further details can be obtained from the :-
