RETIREE’S in the region are being invited to attend the first meeting of the Bannockburn and District Probus Club.<\/p>\n
After the old Probus Club in the region shut down, an effort is being made to bring back the initiative, which provides opportunities for socialising.<\/p>\n
“We did have a Probus club in Bannockburn but it closed a few years ago,” Rotary District Probus chair Margaret Robinson said.<\/p>\n
“We looked at the census and that’s how we identified it would be good to have<\/p>\n
one there.<\/p>\n
“The idea is to have a monthly meeting and make new friends.”<\/p>\n
Ms Robinson said it was particularly important for retirees to have social opportunities as they no longer see people at work.<\/p>\n
“When you leave work, you sometimes feel as though you’ve lost those connections,” she said.<\/p>\n
“At Probus, they have a meeting, they listen to guest speakers, and the members work out what activities they would like to have.”<\/p>\n
The interest meeting will be held at the Bannockburn Cultural Centre on Tuesday, April 9 from 9.30am.<\/p>\n
