The Probus Club of Croydon celebrated its 40th birthday earlier this month bringing about memories and photos from the past.
Bring members and the committee together on 12 June at Club Kilsyth’s Cambridge Room, it was a wonderful celebration for the collective of friends.
Croydon MP David Hodgett presented club president Karin Standish with a 40th anniversary certificate.
“With approximately 85 members the club offers a range of social activities and outings, offering a great way to connect with other members of the community and make new friendships,” Mr Hodgett posted to social media.
“Congratulations to the club on this wonderful achievement.”
After the presentation there was a short break enabling Mr Hodgett, his assistant Emma Gallagher and members to share Probus fellowship.
At the break’s conclusion, the general meeting was held and then a member gave an interesting Getting To Know You presentation, followed by members and guests taking part in a hilarious game of football bingo.
A delicious luncheon followed the meeting and was enjoyed by all.
A record of the Club’s history was on display for members to peruse, including newspaper clippings, photograph albums and records of past activities.
The combined member club of men and women always welcomes new members, with meetings held on the second Wednesday of the month at 10am at Club Kilsyth.
