 We had another MASKED meeting today  and we had an OBN 

(over Bloomin ninety) recipient Bill Bowhay . 

Plus Carol Inducted 4 new members today   Sandra , Kel , Mary and Noel. 

 Some of these people have been waiting to join for several

 months but because our club was in lockdown from March 

they had to wait until today to be inducted into our club..   

 We hope these new members will enjoy the new frienships they will make , our outings, lunches out etc and that they will have a long and happy association with their Probus club....  

Our Club is the oldest Probus Club on the C/Coast and is 41 years old, hope you enjoy...

For those who were not able to be at our October meeting

 we hope to see you at a future meeting SOON . 

                            We are missing you . 

Our next meeting is Nov.  12th  and  it would

 normally be our GOOD CITIZEN AWARDS morning . 

However due to Covid restrictions  this will NOT  take place as usual (for the 1st time in 38 years) we are very dissapointed as this is always a very special morning  ,   we will however  be trying to get the awards to the student through their respective schools instead.   

So a normal meeting is planned  for November instead...

 Please watch this space for news on this..

 Our Historian David Walker is working on our 40 yr history book and  with the help of  Frohmullers, Thorntons, Edgingtons and lots of 

 input from  members  the book might be ready for our Christmas meeting  with some luck ....   This book is looking great .

           Again watch this space for future news .......

      Until next we see you . Keep safe and well.
