Probus is an association of retired and
semi-retired people who join together in clubs for the purpose of
regular social interaction to keep both their minds and bodies active
and to enjoy the fellowship of new friends.
Probus is not a
Service Club and does not engage in fund raising or community
sponsorship. It is made up of members from all walks of life.
It is also non-sectarian and non-political.
Many
retired people today move for a more relaxed lifestyle and find that
they leave family and friends behind, so it is necessary to find an
outlet to enable them to make new friends and to take part in new
interests.
The only criterion for membership is to be no longer in full time work.
