The first Ladies Probus Club in WA celebrates 40th birthday

23 Apr 2025

The Albany Ladies Probus Club, the first Ladies Probus Club in WA, celebrated its 40th birthday recently with a luncheon at a local hotel.

The luncheon was complete with Probus coloured bunting, balloons, a birthday cake, and a certificate from Probus South Pacific.

In late 1984, the Albany Probus Club promoted the idea of a Ladies Club. The Albany Rotary Club agreed, and the Albany Ladies Probus Club was formed in 1985 with 65 ladies signing up.

Over the years, the Club has enjoyed many varied and interesting speakers that spoke on health and legal matters, and relevant topics including scam recognition and protection, travel and other local newsworthy topics.

The Club is proud of the 40 years of what has been a vibrant Club which has seen many friendships formed and has provided a welcoming place to meet for fun and friendship.

The current committee is committed to ensuring the Club continues to thrive for as long as they can.
