October was an active time for Fingal Bay Probus members.

The group’s monthly meeting was held at the renovated Fingal Bay Sports Club.

First, there was the welcome induction of a new member, Rhonda Martin, then a valuable talk from Jordan Grupetta from Future Tech Electronics and Computers.

Julia Redlich of the Probus Club told News Of The Area, “He gave sound and topical advice on understanding the importance of safety with computers and avoiding those seemingly never-ending threats that plague us.”

One of the many activities held last month was the group’s ‘Walking for Pleasure’ meeting, however the sunshine vanished and rain drove intrepid would-be walkers into Zenith at Shoal Bay for expert enjoyment of the usual chat and coffee.

“A little later on in the month, an innovation was a breakfast instead of a Wine and Dine meeting.

“The marvellous menu at Little Nels was a great occasion for the usual fun and friendship that Probus members relish,” she said.

There are several Probus Clubs around Port Stephens and there is sure to be one that is a great fit for any retiree.

The Fingal Bay Probus Club meets at 9.30am on the second Monday of each month at the Fingal Bay Sports Club, 100 Rocky Point Road, Fingal Bay.

New members and visitors are welcome to learn about Probus and activities such as barbecues, movies, day trips, morning teas and walks for pleasure.
