PROBUS ?
What is PROBUS?
Never heard of that.
PROBUS CLUBS worldwide work to provide regular gatherings to those retired or semi-retired business or professional men who, in retirement, appreciate and value opportunities to meet others in similar circumstances and of a similar level of interest. Probus is non-profit making; clubs do not hold raffles or make collections for any causes or charities either at meetings or in the area (no tins or flag waving). The club is directed primarily to
providing fellowship between members who are compatible with each other and the opportunity to meet new acquaintances. Most Probus Clubs are restricted to men but some clubs have since the introduction of the Equality Act 2010 in the UK started to become mixed. In Dartmouth there is a Ladies Probus Club. Members of the Stoke Fleming & District Probus Club has attracted members from Blackawton, Capton, Slapton, Strete, Stoke Fleming, Torcross, Stoken- ham and Dartmouth. The Club meets alternate Wednesdays (except certain months in the Summer) at the Stoke Lodge Hotel, Stoke Fleming, Nr. Dartmouth. Speakers are invited to the Club to speak on each occasion. Often Club members them- selves will present a talk. The subjects are wide, varied and last for about 45 minutes to an hour. Some of the talks this year have been: “Tall Tales from
a short ship`s surgeon”; “attack on the Uss Liberty”; “Emotional Dogs” and “Toastmaster Experiences”. Com-

year (sometimes two - Spring and Autumn). Again, the venues are variable and often take members to properties of the National Trust. For example visits have been to The National Marine Aquarium, Buckland Abbey, Cote- hele and Tucker`s Maltings in Newton Abbot. These trips out rarely cost more than £30 per person. Probably the most important social function is the Ladies Night - which is held more often than not in November each year. This gives members and their ladies an opportunity to dress up and to add some formality to it all. These Ladies
nights are generally held at Stoke Lodge Hotel. The cost is not astronomical (this year the cost is £27 per person which includes a reception drink). If any reader is interested in joining or visiting the Club they should first contact the secretary (bob hamilton) on 01803 83 4970 or the Chairman (Stephen Reading) on 01803 83 2504. There is no joining fee - only an annual subscription (which is presently below £25). A three course lunch with coffee costing £13.50 (at present) or coffee at coffee mornings, presently £1.75 per cup. The Club has its own website:
