HEIDE MUSEUM - Glenn Ewing

On a sunny Thursday members visited the Heide Art Gallery in Bulleen to see the landmark exhibition featuring Surrealist photography by American born artist Man Ray and eminent Australian photographer Max Dupain. With more than 120 vintage prints spanning a range of subject matter, it certainly held our attention and also highlighted their experimentation with modernist approaches and innovative photographic techniques. Fascinating and well worth visiting.

TEN PIN BOWLING - Ray King

On a cool, but sunny, August day a group of keen and slightly wary would-be bowlers assembled at Healthways Recreation Centre to have a crack at tenpin bowling and to enjoy being around their fellow Probus members. Many of those assembled had not bowled for decades but that did not deter them from joining in.

With three lanes and three bowlers per lane, we got through the game in about fifty minutes with a lot of encouragement, laughs and chatter. Our assigned attendant “Mark 2” was a great person who gave handy tips to those who requested them. We were also happy to welcome a potential member, Linda, who looked to have had a great time. The quiet cosy atmosphere at the bowling lanes was most conducive to our purpose of socialising around a healthy activity.

When the activity concluded, the players assembled for photos and the consensus amongst them seemed to be that we should do this activity more than once a year. Two players had prior engagements at this point, so the remaining seven proceeded to the Blackburn Hotel. We scored a table for seven in a quiet spot and had a great time eating and chatting. All in all, a great finish to a good activity.
