A new Probus Club was officially launched in June at the Old Beach Community Centre. The inaugural President Jacie Chick was presented with a ‘Chain of Office’ donated by Rotary Lindisfarne.

The club joins a network spanning 52 Probus Clubs across Tasmania. The Old Beach Probus Club aims to foster fun and friendship in retirement and offers retirees opportunities to socialise, forge new friendships, acquire new skills, and explore fresh interests and hobbies.

Meetings are scheduled for the third Friday of each month at the Old Beach Community Centre, and feature activities and guest speakers.

Their first club get together was held at Brew Lab in Goodwood. Retirees from the local area interested in learning more about the club are encouraged to attend the next meeting scheduled for 16 August. Alternatively, you can reach out to a committee member via email at oldbeachprobusclub24@gmail.com.
