Important Notice to Members Booking and Attending Club Activities during COVID 19 Restrictions
Presidents Report November 2025
The $2.50 outing to Wendy’s Secret Garden with Mosman Probus club had to be cancelled as the organizer was ill. It will be rescheduled for a later date. As soon as I know when I will inform everyone.
This year is almost over, and I am sure that everyone is looking forward to our Annual Christmas Lunch which will be held on 5th December 2025 at Sandstone Café in Miramare Gardens Terrey Hills. Arrival time is 11.30 am. A complimentary drink will be given to you on arrival, but any other drinks will have to be purchased from the bar
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.
