On the 22nd August 1997 the first meeting of interested parties for our club was held, and on the 26th September 1997 the first Club Meeting was held.
The Rotary Club of Mitcham was our sponsor in forming the Combined Probus Club of Tunstall Inc. The meeting on 22nd August 1997 included representatives from Mitcham Rotary, Probus District 9810, and several neighbouring Probus Clubs.
Our first President was Rev Wilf Griffiths
Whilst we are a Nunawading area club, the word Tunstall is the historical name of the area. The original Tunstall township was at the intersection of Springvale and Whitehorse Roads - a few hundred metres from our current meeting rooms.
We are very fortunate that 25+years from creation, we have many Foundation Members still actively involved in our Club.
Also, some of our Presidents have served more than one term, always with a very capable and
willing Committee behind them.
