The Combined Probus Club of Whittlesea has been active over the past months.
President Greg Eddy recently inducted Kingsley Durdin who has been a regular visitor to meetings and attended the recent Probus day trip to Blue Lotus Gardens.
Kingsley has an interesting hobby of collecting a variety of antique bottles. This has been his passion for about 50 years. He travels around Australia and overseas to add to his collection.
He is an avid AFL supporter, and his beloved team is Port Adelaide. He can also tell fishing tales.
While the main activity of the club is the monthly members’ meeting held at the Whittlesea Bowls Club on the first Monday of the month, there are also four special interest sub-groups.
On the first Wednesday of the month the green thumbed members join with other Whittlesea township communities for a morning’s session which may be a site visit or just a general chat.
After the garden group, members can join with others at the Bowls Club to participate in the card game called Five Hundred which some search engines claim to be Australia’s national card game.
There is also a walking group that meets every Tuesday for their weekly get together. For a sit down and a chat and a later start the Coffee Club meet at 10.00 am on the fourth Monday of the month.
A members’ Dine Out is organised once a month at a local or near-by restaurant. The next meeting will be on May 16 at Viet Chopsticks in South Morang..
Initial inquiries for any of the groups can be made to 0427 021 592.
