Manly Probus Club Inc  
Our Club History  1980-2010
30th Anniversary 2010

 

Apart from the formation of the club in 1980 as a male only club, arguably the most significant event of the past  thirty years occurred in March 2010. At the AGM in that year members voted overwhelmingly by secret ballot to admit females as members for the first time. The pictures below record  the wide range of activities provided for the enjoyment of our members in our 30th year 2010 .

30th Anniversary lunch 9 December 2010

 

On the 30th Anniversary  Geoffrey Falkenmire 27 July 2010 

I joined the Manly Probus Club,

Way back, twenty years ago,

Never did I realise

That it would affect me so.

 

It became my panacea,

Blew my blues and cares away,

With a happy monthly meeting,

Each third Thursday, come what may.

 

What does all this mean to you?

Oh, my friends, you ve won the prize,

Just let Probus guide your way,

Listen while I now advise.

 

Don t be backward. Don t be shy,

Don t think life has passed you by,

There is so much left to do,

I know that, and you do, too.

 

Cherish friends and make some more,

That is what your days are for,

Smiles are great and laughing s fun,

Grab your joy whene er you can.

 

Youth was great, but that was then,

You don t want it back again,

Enjoy your age, your rarity,

Rejoice in your longevity !!!
