Centaurus Combined Probus
Retirees! It’s that time again! Are you feeling lonely and isolated? Do you find that the phone doesn’t ring, there are no texts or emails? How about joining your local Probus Club?
The Centaurus Combined Probus Club offers the opportunity for retired women and men to meet new people and try new experiences. This group has members from Redcliffs to Halswell as well as from across town. New members are very welcome. Your first three visits are free to give you the opportunity to decide if this group suits you or not.
The group meets on the first Tuesday of each month at the Cashmere Club, 50 Colombo Street, Beckenham at 2:00pm . You do not need to be a Cashmere Club member to attend.
The next meeting is Tuesday 6th Aug. 2pm (Note, if the Colombo St entrance is still closed then there is an alternative entrance off Hunter Tce. ) We would love to see you there!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
