40th Anniversary Luncheon at the Blue Waters Hotel

10 Feb 2026

Spring Bay Combined Probus marks 40 years with a special function at Blue Waters Hotel, celebrating members, community leaders, and long-serving member Judy’s life membership. 

Around 60 guests attended, including Sandra Falconer, Probus District Chairman; Mark Salter, President of Spring Bay Rotary Club, the club’s sponsor; Greg Tory, CEO of Glamorgan Spring Bay Council; Cheryl Arnol, Mayor of Glamorgan Spring Bay Council; as well as Probus members and members of the local community. Guests enjoyed lunch and addresses from both Sandra and Mark.  

The retired Past President of Spring Bay Rotary Club in 1985, Mr. Peter Hills, was recognised for leading the committee that explored forming a Probus Club in the area. This came to fruition and has been very successful for 40 years.  

A highlight of the celebration was the presentation of Life Membership bestowed upon member Judy by Sandra. Judy has been a member of the club for 31 years, has held office, and has upheld the purpose of Probus, which is for retired and semi-retired persons who enjoy the company of fellow members, have fun, and make new friends.
