COVID-19 has encouraged us all to get outside.

The members of the Probus Club of Port Stephens were seen this week braving a cool winters morning at Soldiers Point Marina.

The group is looking forward to once again holding its regular meetings and enjoying an array of activities as restrictions lift further.

This was one of the biggest turnouts for Probus since March when the lockdown started.

David Heath of the Probus Club told News Of The Area, “The breeze off the Soldiers Point water chilled the energetic and determined walkers from Port Stephens Probus Club.

“Within minutes of starting the sun broke through and everybody enjoyed a stroll round the point and through the suburbs then back to the Boat Shed Cafe for a steaming coffee which was enjoyed sitting in the sun on what must be the most idyllic way to spend a winter’s day anywhere on this planet,” he said.

As usual the conversation and catch up was vibrant with concern, laughter and opinion.

The “Probeans” drifted off to their individual day’s activities having started the day with a double positive note.

Visitors are more than welcome at all Probus Port Stephens meetings and events, for details contact: www.probusclubofportstephens.org
