Our club was formed at its initial meeting, hosted by Probus South Pacific, on 2 June 2025 when the Constitution was approved, most of those attending signed up to join the club as Foundation members and the first committee was elected.  At a second meeting on 7 July additional attendees joined to form a group of 31 Foundation members. In its first year the club has organised activities, set up bank accounts, arranged guest speakers and created various membership communication systems.   At the first AGM in March 2026, most of the committee agreed to continue the work they had been doing to get the club running well with a goal of reaching its desired total membership of 80. We were delighted to induct our 80th member at our October meeting, our current membership cap.

Probus is an association of Active Seniors who meet on a regular basis and engage in various social activities together. "Probus" is derived from the words Professional and Business and was started as a project of Rotary in Surrey, England in 1965 designed for retired Rotarians.  By 1976 the idea had spread to Australia.  You can read more about what membership of a Probus organisation offers on the Probus South Pacific (PSPL) website at www.probussouthpacific.org.  As a member of Probus, members benefit from various travel opportunities.
