Important Notice to Members Booking and Attending Club Activities during COVID 19 Restrictions
Presidents Report January 2026
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year. Let us hope that 2026 is a good year for all of us.
Some Committee members will be retiring this year so if you are thinking of playing a role in our Club please put your hand up and take on a position. Nomination form available near the last page of this newsletter so that you can nominate yourself for a position.
The BBQ at Bobbin Head was a great success. We had a good turnout, in spite of the rain, and I want to thank everyone who braved the rain and came and I think we all enjoyed ourselves.
Congratulations to the people who won one of the 5 lucky door prizes. Hope you enjoyed your prize.
I am sure that the Club will have a good year with some interesting outings and speakers already planned.
Membership Renewals are now due!
Membership Subscriptions for the period 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026 are now due.
The annual subscription remains unchanged at $95.00.
At its meeting on 10th February, the Committee adopted a break-even budget for the Club’s 2025 financial year based on: (i) the subscription remaining unchanged at $95; and (ii) 100 membership renewals being achieved (current membership as at 01-March 2025 is 107, but there will inevitably be the normal small number of non-renewals).
A pie chart showing the elements making up the subscription appears below.
Payment of $95 per member is now due and can be made either:
1. By Electronic Transfer to the Club’s bank account (preferred); or
2. By Cheque or in Cash to the Treasurer at the General Meeting on Monday 10th March, or otherwise by arrangement.

Probus Insurance - Please read
A little-known fact is that if a member’s partner/spouse who is not a Club member attends meetings or outings of our Club three times or more per Probus year (that is, 1st April to 31st March), they are required to pay $16.75 per annum to our Club (the amount was previously $15.00 per annum).
Our Club then passes this amount on to Probus South Pacific and means that the person concerned is covered by Probus South Pacific’s insurance should there be any reason to make a claim.
Partners/spouses are always welcome. Please let the Secretary or another member of the Management Committee know if the above information applies to you.
Events/Activities COVID-19 Rules
The NSW Government has relaxed all Covid-19 restrictions as they apply to our monthly meetings. Although it is preferred that all members be fully vaccinated to attend any Probus Bobbin Head (PBH) event/meeting:
- there is no need to pre-register with the Club Secretary, prior to the meeting;
- there is no requirement to log-in to the Turramurra Bowling Club (TBC) QR code and show the TBC representative their official Covid-19 vaccination certificate as proof of vaccination;
- masks are not required but may be worn by the individual if they wish to do so; and
- no social distancing rules apply.
New Members
We welcome new members who are keen to expand their activities and friendships. Please join us if you are interested in participating in the Club.
