Probus club celebrates 38 years

The Probus Club of Umina Beach has celebrated its 38th birthday with a celebratory luncheon at Everglades Country Club.

The club was launched by the Rotary Club of Umina Beach in 1980.

Umina Rotary publicity officer Mr Geoff Melville attended the luncheon on behalf of the Rotary Club.

"Over 70 members of the 100 strong Probus Club attended the luncheon, along with some special guests," Mr Melville said.

"Mr Hashim Durrani, a Past President of the Probus Club, was in attendance.

"Probus Clubs are fellowship clubs and the name comes from joining the words professional and business.

"They were originally formed to fill a gap felt by men who left work and missed the camaraderie and fellowship of fellow workers.

""By the 1980s, Probus outnumbered Rotary Clubs in England and already there are 130,000 Probians in the South Pacific region," Mr Melville said.

Probus Umina Beach has regular outings and a recent trip took members to Norfolk Island on a 10 day holiday.

The Rotary Club of Umina Beach has sponsored four Clubs and another jointly with Woy Woy Club.
