This year’s End of Season lunch was on 7th Jun 2023 and was attended by 37 Members and Guests.
Our Chairman Chris Martin opened the procedings by thanking all the attendees for coming and how nice it was to see them. Chris thanked Trevor and his staff for giving us their usual excellent service.
Chris thanked Roy Matthews for his many years of service to the Club in all the different roles on the Committee. Chris also mentioned plans for members to meet up informally during the long Summer break. (See bottom of page for more details)
Paul Young proposed the Loyal Toast to the King and Joan Young said Grace.
After the lunch Paul announced the winning Raffle Ticket numbers for prizes donated by Club members. A total of £105 was raised by the Raffle as a contribution to the Club funds.
Our roving photographer Tony Taft provided the photos of members below and below Tony’s gallery you can see more photos taken by our peripatetic member Pieter.

What do you do during the Summer Break when there are no Probus meetings to go to?
Last year several members made a practice of meeting on Wednesday lunchtimes at a local hostelry for a drink and possibly a light lunch.
This year they will be continuing this tradition and all Members are invited to join them.
Our first meeting this year will be at https://yeoldesmokeyhouse.co.uk/ Marldon at 12.30 Wednesday 14th June.
For this first meeting Tony, Chris, Alan, Arthur and Brian will be attending.
If you think you would like to attend please contact any of the members mentioned above or send an email to Tony at ppwebsec@gmail.com so we know how many to expect, or just turn up.
We have set up a WhatsApp group “PProbus” to enable easier correspondence between attendees and to join this group you will first have to download WhatsApp to your mobile phone and then ask Tony to send you an invitation to join. If you don’t know how to do this just come along to the meeting and an existing WhatsApp user will help you set it up.
Here’s another idea to get you set up with WhatsApp – read this article https://www.ageuk.org.uk/information-advice/work-learning/technology-internet/whatsapp/
Alternatively just ask one of your grandcildren, they will do it for you.
See you next Wednesday
