Creswick Probus Club, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Ballarat East, started with a
  meeting in the Creswick Town Hall on 17 March, 2004, to gauge potential interest.

The result was affirmative and the Club was formally established at a subsequent ‘Foundation Meeting’ in the
Creswick RSL hall on 6 April, attended by representatives from Rotary, Probus’ governing body (Probus South Pacific)
and 38 interested invitees who were inducted as Foundation Members.

It received its Accreditation Certificate at its first general meeting on 4 May that was open to the public and
attracted an additional 63 members. Subsequent meetings were held in the larger St Andrew’s Church Hall.

Membership has remained approx. 100.
