Happy 30th anniversary Rossmoyne

The Rossmoyne Probus Club just celebrated its 30th birthday. which was attended by the club’s oldest serving member and inaugural treasurer, Brian Betham. 

Brian was the Keynote speaker with his reminiscences’ of 30 years in the club. “Brian was recently awarded the status of “ Living Treasure” because of his outstanding service to the club – service which continues right up to today” the Club’s President Denis Brooks said.  Brian cut the ceremonial club birthday cake. 

At the meeting, President Denis Brooks also praised the dedication of other key committee members, who were responsible for a major increase in membership in the club. Twelve former presidents of the club were honoured, along with former secretaries and treasurers. The club has added almost 40 new members since opening its membership to women and well over one third of the membership were now women. 

“The club has developed a real dynamism and all our social activities now have a real buzz to them. Retirement does not have to be isolating. This is a great social club for retirees and semi-retirees and I really commend it to you,” said Dennis.  He added that the club is dedicated to fellowship, fun and friendship” as well as a little intellectual stimulation. The club continues to seek to add active retirees or part retirees as new members. Nothing is more exciting to us than to greet new members into the club.

Winston Marsh from the board at Probus and the Probus Club of Attadale also attended the event and congratulated the club on achieving 30 years of membership.

 The club has a regular monthly meeting on the first Tuesday of the month at the Rossmoyne Bowling Club on Tuscan Street, Rossmoyne at 9.30am.

The meeting is divided into three elements – a business session which deals with various reports from committee members such as social, welfare, correspondence, tnteraction with other clubs, finance etc. This is followed by a morning tea which provides a great opportunity for fellowship. The meeting then has a Guest Speaker or some sort of performance to finish the meeting. 

The club has a regular monthly scheduled get together for coffee in addition to its regular meetings and the social calendar includes all sorts of additional monthly outings, from restaurant outings to movie days as well as interesting trips such as the Wheelchairs for Kids project, the Murdoch Veterinary School, and the Tulip Festival at Araluen. 

The club warmly welcomes visitors.
