Probus Clubs form a worldwide network to provide regular gatherings to retired or semi-retired men from a wide variety of business or professional roles. Each Probus Club is autonomous. Locally, here at Tewkesbury & Bredon Hill Probus Club, we aim to stimulate retirement, but in a relaxed and informal style, and we appreciate opportunities to meet others in similar circumstances with like interests. It is ‘men only’ as a rule, but we actively, and regularly, welcome spouses/partners to open events, outings and meals.
We are non-political, non-affiliated and only have links with other organisations through members’ other wider community interests and memberships. We are not a fund-raising or charitable group. This Club endeavours to be simple in structure and to provide opportunities for meeting new friends, enjoying conversation and listening to talks on a wide variety of subjects, some of which have further information on the Articles page.
Members gather each Tuesday morning from 9.45 am for a 10.15 am start. The speaker normally takes the floor at about 10.25 but we allow for a mid-session break for the all-important, coffee and conversation at 11.00. The meeting closes by 12 noon.
A representative sample of talks from recent months included:
- The Joy of False Memory
- Global Warming
- British Leyland
- SS Great Britain
- Domestic Violence
- The Art of the Magician
- PTSD – a Personal View
But also ‘A Conversation with …’ – A group Member provides career highlights and anecdotes.
