The Heartbreak Choir - Saturday March 21, 2026 at 2:30pm 

A terrible incident fractures the local community choir . As a result, some of the group feel that they must leave on a matter of principle. Because they miss the comfort and connection that singing brings them, they decide to form a new choir. This is a warm, funny and moving play which takes us on a journey of heartbreak and reconnection, while highlighting the power of music, friendship and community. 

Please Note: This production contains strong language, adult themes. 

If you wish to attend please put your name down on the list and ensure that your payment is in the Probus Bobbin Head bank account by February 02, 2026. 

Tickets will be distributed at the meeting on February 09, 2026 

If you have any questions please call Rhoda on 0424 480 964 or Mentie on 0407 945 038

ANNUAL BARBEQUE AT BOBBIN HEAD - 12th JANUARY 2026 

Come and join us for our annual summer barbeque at Bobbin Head on Monday 12th January 2026 from 12 midday. 

There is no finishing time. Stay as long as you wish! 

The pavilion is across the bridge and to the right, opposite the old brick building now used as a café and park office. Parking is close by. Bring your own food, drinks etc. An electric barbeque is available, but in previous years most people have brought picnic food rather than barbeque. 

Cost is $5 per person to cover the cost hiring of the pavilion. Also there is the usual park entrance fee if you do not have a pass. As usual there will be a raffle and prizes for some lucky people.  

I will have a list on the front table at the December meeting, so please put your name down if you are attending and send your payment to Michael. 

If anyone needs a lift please contact a Committee member and I am sure that a .lift can be arranged. 

Last opportunity to register will be at the December meeting. After that it will be necessary to phone or email. Also it will assist our treasurer if the $5 per person payment is made ASAP.
