NEW – Go to the Photo Gallery to see some new photos. Go to the News to see a pdf of a talk given by our secretary, Stewart Featherby, about the history of the club.
The Jubilee Probus Club of Lincoln was founded in 1977, the year of the Queen’s Silver Jubilee (hence the name), with the basic object to “promote friendship and fellowship amongst the members”. Membership is open to professional and business men who have fully or partially retired or are within a year of retirement from their normal business or profession.
Venue
The Club meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month (except in December). The normal format of the meeting is: Members gather at 11:45 for lunch at 12:15 and are welcomed by the President. This is followed by the Grace and the Loyal Toast. There is normally an after-lunch speaker (who can be drawn from the membership) except in November which is the Annual General Meeting. The current meeting place is the White Hart Hotel – see map below.
Travel
There is limited parking at the hotel. There are other car parks near by. See: Parkopedia. You can also park for free at the Waitrose Park & Ride and take the bus to the Cathedral stop which is less than 5 mins walk to the hotel. Buses run every 15 mins.
The hotel is also easily reached from Lincoln Bus Station. Take Bus Number 7, 8, 11 or 12. Buses run at least every 10 mins. Get off at the Cathedral stop which is less than 5 mins walk to the hotel.
On the second Tuesday of the month (except in December) there is a coffee morning at 10:15 when members can bring their wives or partners to the hotel for coffee and a social gathering.
