Twenty and thriving
02 Jul 2025
Rolleston Combined Probus Club recently celebrated their 20th birthday.
Approximately 70 members gathered for a catered luncheon, cake cutting and the lighting of 3 candles to represent past, present and future Probus members.
Foundation member and initiator of the Club, Esme, states that back in 2005 she could see a need for a Club of this nature to be formed in Rolleston as there were many retired people moving into the town back then. Esme stated that when she advertised for the inaugural meeting she was blown away when 56 people turned up.
The Club currently boasts 116 members from as far afield as Christchurch, Templeton, Prebbleton, Leeston and Halswell.
