Centaurus (Combined) Probus
Retirees! New Year's greetings to you all! 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 men and women to meet new people and try new experiences. The group meets each month at the Cashmere Club, 50 Colombo Street, ( or Hunter Tce, off Malcolm Ave) 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. Our group activities have included 10-pin bowling (very popular!!), two levels of groups walks followed by morning tea, a visit to Moffatt’s flower nursery in Halswell, a group visit to the Court Theatre, a trip on the trams in town and an evening meal at Armadillos restaurant in Beckenham.
The next meeting is this coming Tuesday, 3rd February

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Addictive Eaters Anonymous
After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom
I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.
