The inaugural meeting of the Men’s Probus Club of Toorak Gardens was held on 8 March 1988, making it the 885^th Probus Club in the South Pacific.  

The Club recently celebrated its 25th anniversary with a large cake, an interesting speaker and many of the members’ partners.

The occasion also included a presentation to founding member Peter Kitching, who has faithfully edited more than 275 editions of the club's monthly newsletter, an astounding service that has helped consolidate the club into the friendly, supportive gathering it has become.
