THE PROBUS CLUB OF PORT PHILLIP INC. – WHAT WE DO

The Club normally meets on the second Tuesday of each Month from 10.00 a.m. at the Kew Golf Club, 120 Belford Road, Kew East.  The usual format for these meetings is to have a business meeting, followed by morning tea or coffee, then a Guest Speaker for the next hour.  Members and their partners, and/or visitors, can then stay on for lunch. 

Various activities are arranged to take place between the Monthly General Meetings.

Coffee and Conversation meetings to discuss contemporary matters are on the fourth Tuesday of each month and visits to places of interest are generally arranged on the third Tuesday of each month.

Each year, usually in November, a five- or six-day Getaway is arranged where the Members visit a location away from Melbourne where they can enjoy similar activities and have the opportunity through fellowship to develop acquaintances and friendships. 

A smaller or Mini-Getaway, which is normally less structured and usually of four days is arranged earlier in the year.
