Probus Anglesea turns 25
Foundation members of Probus Club of Surfcoast Anglesea prepare to cut the 25th anniversary cake - Val Taylor, Joan Arthur, Audrey Lewis, Margaret Drayton, Ann Drayton and Colin Arthur.
The Probus Club of Surf Coast Anglesea recently celebrated its 25th anniversary.
To mark the event, about 100 club members gathered for high tea at Little Feast in Aireys Inlet.
They were joined by Surf Coast Shire mayor Rose Hodge and Anglesea Ward councillor Tony Revell.
Former club president Lynn Bunning said she was relatively new to the area when she joined Probus, and found it offered her plenty of ways to make new connections.
“It’s a great way to socialise and meet members of the community” Ms Bunning said.
“We have dinners, shows, films, walks, garden group meetings and guest speakers.”
The club had 36 foundation members when it was formed in 1994. Six of these founders were at the celebration.
Probus is an organisation for people who are active members of the community or no longer working full-time to join together.
It seeks to provide its members with regular social interaction, but also to stimulate their intellectual and cultural interests.
They generally meet at the clubhouse at Anglesea Golf Club on the third Monday of the month.
