Centaurus Combined Probus
Retirees! Are you feeling lonely and isolated? Do you find that the phone doesn’t ring, there are no texts or emails? Or do you just feel like trying something new and meeting new people. How about joining your local Probus Club? The Centaurus Combined Probus Club offers the opportunity to do just that.
The group meets each month at the Cashmere Club, 50 Colombo Street, at 2:00pm on the first Tuesday each month. You do not need to be a Cashmere Club member to attend. The Centaurus group has members from Redcliffs to Halswell as well as from across town.
New members are very welcome. Please come early so that we can meet you and make you welcome! Our next meeting is next Tuesday, 1st of April. Your first three visits are free (including afternoon tea!). We would love to see you there!
