PRESIDENTS REPORT- Chris Robinson

 

Hello to all members.

October is a month that Probus call it’s month and has some suggestions on how clubs could celebrate October. Hopefully I will be able to talk more about what our club can do at the next meeting on the 21^st of October. However, John G. may have to chair this month as I am waiting to have vascular surgery, which I could get a call about any day now. Anyway, today Tuesday 8^th is a special day for a special friend who I am taking out to lunch.

So cheers to all members and I’ll see you soon.

Chris.

MEETING  

 Members attending the September meeting. Obviously members some have a sense of humour.

We had the pleasure of listening to a great and interesting talk given by a lady from Beyond Blue, on the sensitive topic of anxiety and depression. A condition many of us may have in the future or have suffered in the past.

Beyond Blue helps raise awareness, reduce stigma, and encourages people to seek help.

Thank you for giving us a very informative talk.

GARDENING

 

A keen gardener will be constantly thinking ahead to future seasons. If you want your garden to be full of colour throughout the coming summer months, October is the perfect time to plant your summer-flowering varieties. This will ensure they are established in time to produce spectacular blooms.

 

 BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS      Another year older and maybe wiser.
