                              DAY OUTINGS

                                         DAY OUTINGS

  • The club's Outings Officer organises visits to places of interest every month or so. These visits can be comfortably completed within a day with transport to and from the event being by bus or car pooling.  

  • It is more fun to visit places in a group because a group can usually justify having a dedicated guide.  

  • Indeed, some visits are only available to a group.  Members of the club have a range of interests and so a diverse range of visits are organised to cater for them.  

  • Wives and friends are invited to join members on these outings.

Men's Probus enjoys the services of the Mansfield Bendigo Bank.  Outings and other payments can be made to our account at the Bendigo Bank using:

       BSB 633-108  account # 134914050.

       PLEASE don't forget to say what the payment is for.

Christmas Luncheon at Chrismont Winery and Restaurant, Cheshunt.

Wednesday 13th December 2017

The Christmas Luncheon was a huge success with over 70 in attendance. The food, service, wine and surrounds were absolutely fabulous. The Christmas hamper was won by Marta Mueck from Ladies' Probus.  She was completely bowled over by her win and said her family, coming from England for Christmas, will have a lot of ham eating to do!    Our thanks to donors of goodies but in particular Marks IGA, Greenway Lane, Hotel Delatite, Curry Garden Indian Restaurant, The Produce Store as well as all the men who gave so generously of the goods and time to put together such a handsome hamper.  Val Kirley recited some humorous poems she had written of some well known local identities.

The Benalla Buslines arrived at our pick-up point for the 11am departure as planned and we all safely arrived at Chrismont Winery & Restaurant at noon.  Seated at tables of six made moving around the dining area and up to the wine tasting "cellar door" easy and pleasant.     

Views over the vineyard at Chrismont are outstanding and with such a sunny day made the event even more enjoyable.  Leaving about an hour later than scheduled was indicative of the great time that was had by all. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marta's hamper 1st prize. 

OTHER WINNERS : Irene O'Meara 2nd prize, Sue Parsons 3rd prize and Sandi Howard 4th prize.

November 7th Outing 2017.

Mansfield Catanach Cup Day. 

(Tuesday 7th November 2017 also happened to be Melbourne Cup Race day in Melbourne).

A great day was had by both Men's and Ladies' Probus Clubs at the races under a beautiful blue sky in our own marquee. 

Colin Duncan and Vin Smith got the marquee ready while Dawn Breadon and Lyn Uren organised the Sweep. 

There was a lot of fun and laughter however the real winner was the bookie who was set up right in front of our marquee.  Luckily we had our sun umbrella and it was put to very good use.
