Outings report for May:
Our outing to the Chocolate Grove and the Sands Hotel were both very enjoyable. Unfortunately, only nine of our ladies came to help the Seaford Club out with their numbers. I thought the talk on the history side of the visit was very enjoyable; so enjoyable in fact I have got his details and given them to our President Joan for her to get in touch with him later as a speaker. As an extra bonus, from the last 150 years there were innumerable displays of a variety of chocolate gift boxes and chocolate bar wrappers, (so many I can’t remember!): the displays of boxes etc dealt with all those companies that had the guts to go into business back in the 1800’s into the new century. Thank the Lord they did.
JUNE 2023
15 Jun Coffee Morning – coffee and a chat about future coffee mornings – Some ideas for
future coffee mornings are pizza lunch, soup kitchen,
$2 pop-up shop, fashion show, Pop-up Pancake Shop mobile caravan.
Any other ideas please?
22 Jun Lunch at the Seaford RSL – Make your way to the Seaford RSL for midday lunch. The RSL is
situated in the main street of Seaford, just near the railway crossing. Take your own car and
see if someone will share the ride with you. Seaford RSL has a nice menu and there’s a very
pleasant atmosphere as well. There’s no trouble parking the car, just across the road from
the RSL is the Seaford Railway Station car park. BOARD OUT
5th Thurs An explanation is needed here for our new members.
(See next page):
A normal month is 4 weeks, usually - you know that I know you know that! However
sometimes there’s an extra week slotted in to make the calendar work, making it a five-
week month! This used to give us a chance to have a rest and give us the time to attend to
appointments etc and all the other things that we’ve haven’t had time to do. However
we’ve decided to organise the odd outing, picnic, “whatever” on this day to give you
something to look forward to. You are not required to attend this outing, it’s only been
organized because so many of our ladies have mentioned that they hate it when there’s a
fifth Thursday because they say it’s two weeks before they see their friends again!
So, here it is:
29 Jun Mr. Frank’s Café: Coffee & Chat – from 10 am onwards. The café’s address is 1st Floor,
5TH Thurs 101 Wells Street, Frankston, opposite SouthEast Water (beach side of the highway).
There’s an escalator to take you to the first floor.
There are floor to ceiling windows which offer a beautiful view of Frankston and the bay, so
why don’t you come along, catch up with your “mates”, enjoy a coffee, enjoy a chat, all the
time enjoying a “room with a view”? BOARD OUT
JULY 2023
13 Jul Speaker: Trudy Land will talk about Mental Health.
20 Jul Coffee Morning – Coffee and a chat – ideas!
27 Jul Our 39th Anniversary Lunch is being held at Steeples Hotel, Mornington. This is a very
important date in the annals of Frankston Ladies Probus Club Inc, as we were amongst one
of the first ladies Clubs to be inducted. Considering how few Clubs there were at the time
we were very lucky to get a Rotary Club to sponsor us, and to still be going after 38 years is
quite an achievement and deserves to be celebrated. BOARD OUT
AUGUST 2023
10 Aug Speaker: Trudy Land will demonstrate using a defibrillator and how to do CPR.
17 Aug Coffee Morning – coffee and a chat. Ideas on the way???
24 Aug Ambulance Museum, Bayswater – pick up bus 9.30am at the Village cinemas car park,
Karingal Hub, to get to museum by 10.00am. Take a guided tour of the museum, leave
to go to Bayswater Hotel for lunch at own cost. Approximate cost $35.00 plus bus. For the
moment Bayswater Hotel is a work in progress as we are looking for a hotel a weeny bit
closer to home. BOARD OUT
31 Aug Fifth Thursday – Ducky Brown Café, Gateway, Langwarrin shopping centre; See Board for
details.
SEPTEMBER 2023
14 Sep Speaker: A return talk by Cliff Hardy. We got such as positive vibe after his last visit that we
thought we’d get him again to talk on another subject. So, this time his talk will be “Dolly’s
War Diary”.
21 Sep Coffee Morning – coffee and a chat utilising our new ideas!!
28 Sep Linda’s Lacies, 6 Klauer Street, Seaford, 9782 5955. Own vehicles (please share with those
who don ‘t drive). Be at Linda’s from 10.30am on for fittings and a lovely morning tea (so
I’ve been told). NOW, PLEASE BE AWARE:
If you put your name down you must attend. Linda’s Lacies brings in extra fitters to
accommodate the number of expected customers (as per the names on the attendance
sheet): they have to be paid for their time. If the expected customers don’t turn up, then
that is an expense that Linda’s business will incur.
SO DON’T PUT YOUR NAME DOWN IF YOU’RE JUST THINKING ABOUT IT
After the fittings (and the giggling), we’ll then go on to Seaford Pub for lunch –just up the road at the
lights. Always a good meal. BOARD OUT
