2021 was our 20th anniversary as a Probus Club. We appreciate the early steps that were taken in 2001 that give us the Club experience we have today.
The following booklet celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Club.
It has been compiled by Graeme Storey, the Newsletter Editor, with the assistance of Margaret Soding who was Club Historian in the early years.
