What is Probus?
The Probus movement is a worldwide and UK organisation for retired or near-retired Professional and Business Persons. Probus was founded in 1966 and celebrated its golden anniversary in 2016.
Formed in the early days from gentlemen retiring from business and often, therefore, from the Rotary Club movement a Probus Club provided a meeting place for, mainly, ex-Rotary members to continue to meet socially.
That situation no longer exists and, nowadays, the Probus Club organisation is independent of Rotary and stands on its own. Each Probus Club decides how it will operate and activities vary from Club to Club. Some clubs are men only, some are women only and some are mixed. Our club is now open to all genders.
