Grahame Henderson, Secretary of the Combined Probus Club of Medowie told News Of The Area, “James, the Manager, and all the staff ensured that the protocols were all complied with throughout the lunch.

“The meal, service and the ambience were all great and it was a fitting Birthday Lunch for the Probus Club.

“The meal was a great two course meal followed by the birthday cake, which was cut by the President, Robin.”

The function provided members the opportunity to celebrate with other members, without however, the ability to mingle.

“It did feel like a change from the previous months of isolation,” he said.

The Club has also been fortunate to continue to hold their meetings at the Medowie Community Centre, with a Covid Protocol in the Centre to meet both Council and Probus requirements.

Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 10.00 am and retirees, and semi-retirees are welcome.

Guest speakers are usually in attendance at each meeting and the aim is to apply the Probus Mantra.

The mantra of Probus is Fellowship, Fun and Friendship and particularly in the current situation provides a break from the feeling of isolation.
