Wokingham PROBUS Club

WOKINGHAM PROBUS Club members started their 2019 session on Wednesday , January 2 at the recently changed location of Coppid Beech Hotel, Bracknell.

The speaker programme was introduced for the coming year.

This includes a presentation by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution on Wednesday, February 6, and a talk on the Berkshire artist, Stanley Spencer,

on Wednesday, March 6.

These will be followed by a performance of the works of Dylan Thomas in character, a meeting in support of the local charity, Daisy’s Dream, and a talk on the Reading University Museum of English Rural Life.

A varied and interesting programme continues throughout the rest of the year and all present were encouraged to spread the word on the talks to come as the Club has plenty of capacity for more members to join.

PROBUS is a meeting place for retired or semi-retired professional and business people of either sex who assemble monthly in an informal and friendly atmosphere for social chat, a pleasant lunch and a talk on a general interest topic.

New members will be most welcome. Fees are modest, lunches good value and the company friendly with a wide range of experiences and interests from their varied working lives.

Meetings are on the first Wednesday of the month at 12.30pm for 1pm lunch, with a talk usually following.

The meeting place is now Coppid Beech Hotel, John Nike Way, Bracknell , RG12 8TF

Prospective members will be most welcome to come and meet us, by prior arrangement please, and try us out without obligation. Please contact our Secretary, Hugh Dempster, on 0118 973 0332 or e-mail hughdempster66@gmail. com
