THE Combined Probus Club of Medowie had a wonderful day out on the Wangi Queen, sailing from Lemon Tree Passage around the beautiful waters of Nelson Bay and enjoying a sumptuous barbecue lunch.

As the crew swapped tall trees and greenery for the turquoise waters of the bay they also got to experience a grand old lady of maritime history.

The Wangi Queen dates back to 1922 and she takes her passengers back in time as she leisurely cruises the vast inland waters of Port Stephens.

Kevin Tomlinson, publicity officer for the Medowie Probus Club told News Of The Area, “the talk on the day was about the upcoming 20th-birthday lunch, and the menu which has been decided at the Greenhouse at the Dunes Golf Course.

“The lunch is on 6 July, quite close to the date of the inaugural foundation of the Club on 9 July 2003,” said Kevin.

“It is hoped there will be a number of foundation members present.”

The Medowie Probus Club meets on the third Wednesday each month at 10am at the Medowie Community Centre and all are welcome.

There is usually a guest speaker and the meetings have morning tea at the end where members and visitors can enjoy a chat in the friendly friendship ambience in the mantra of Probus – fun, fellowship and friendship.
