"The Probus Club of Gosford West" had it's 38th birthday today....
Today we had a special birthday and invited people to dress in something colourful if they would like to to celebrate the occcasion.
We also asked that all past presidents were something suitable to have a photo taken that would go into the archives and also hopefully be published in the Probus magazine..
We were lucky enough to have 9 past presidents in attendance today and our current President . So there were ten in the photo. Some were away and unable to be in the photo. It was great to see Derek and Joyce back with us after a long absence due to ill health. Also great to see John Helm again after an illness absence, Betty is unfortunately still not well. A BIG Thank you to those who took part in organising the great food and for those who served it .
