The Bowness Probus Club and the Windermere Probus Club have agreed to re-unite and merge with effect from January 1, 2016, under the original name ‘Windermere Probus Club’.
The ‘Windermere Club’ was established in 1968 and was the second Probus Club to be formed in the United Kingdom. Its success attracted so many members that it was necessary in 1972 to form an additional club in the area – namely ‘Bowness Probus’.
Probus Clubs are for men and women who have retired or semi retired from their business or profession and wish to maintain a social network with others who have similar interests without the involvement of raising funds or taking part in charitable work. Fellowship is a prime aim.
Meetings will continue to be held on the second and fourth Tuesday each month at the Wild Boar Hotel, Crook.
The clubs’ Chairmen/President Brian Jowett and Michael Kemp will share the presidency until the first annual meeting in March.
New members will be most welcome and for further information contact either Brian Jowett on 015394 48711 or Michael Kemp on 015395 64642
