President's Report July 2025
Presidents Report
President’s Report for the Newsletter.
We came back yesterday (23 September 2025) from a most enjoyable trip. The other Probus Group with us was mainly Mosman and a few people from Barra Brui. We all got on very well and I will be contacting Mosman in the future to see if we can arrange a joint outing. I have attached a group photo from the trip. I have also spoken to the Bowling Club and they have given me a list if free days available which we can use if we decide to go ahead with games as this was one of the requests from Ros Tyler’s Survey.

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.

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.
