A very warm welcome to the St Annes-on-the-Sea Probus
Club! We were formed in 1971 and we expected to celebrate our 50th
birthday on 25th February 2021. Unfortunately,coronavirus prevented
that happening. . We are a member of the National Group of Probus
Clubs and have around a hundred members. Our main aim is to foster friendship
between our members and to entertain and educate, with a weekly
presentation of about 45 minutes in length.
We meet every Thursday morning from early October until the end of March at
the Community Centre in St Annes on Sea. The door is open from 10:00am for
refreshments and general chat and the meeting takes place from 10:30 until
about 11:30am. Freshly made tea, coffee and drinking chocolate (including
biscuits) is sold in aid of club funds for 50p a mug.
Every third Thursday, after the meeting, we invite members to get torther
for lunch locally; we continue this get-together on third
Thursdays during the summer recess to keep in touch.
The Club organises a number of social events throughout the year, the most
popular one of which is the annual Christmas Lunch.
Our members mostly live in the St Annes area and come from a wide range of
backgrounds, ranging from science and engineering to sales, education, law,
insurance
and government. Many of their interests include
working for the community and supporting local activities.
The annual subscription is just £15 and the Christmas Lunch is usually
around £25 per person. Members may bring their Ladies or other guests to the Lunch.
