Fun and Friendship in Retirement
If you are close to or have recently retired, want more social contact, Probus might just be the answer.
Probus is a social group of active retired and semi-retired men and women who meet monthly to keep their minds active, expand their interests and to enjoy the fellowship of new friends. . Friendship, Fellowship, and Fun are Probus trademarks. Unlike Rotary, Probus clubs are not service clubs and do not raise funds. Neither do they seek to make a profit; they only charge a moderate membership fee. Members meet on a regular basis, listen to interesting speakers, have local trips and visits, regular luncheons, and join together in wide range of interest groups, and other activities. New members welcome.
Hamilton West Probus meets every 4th Thursday, coffee at 9.30am, meeting starts 10.00am, at the Hamilton Workingman’s Club, 45 Commerce Street, Frankton, Hamilton.
New members welcome.

Hospo owners give BNZ Theatre mixed reviews
After a busy opening week for BNZ Theatre, local restaurateurs have mixed feelings about its impact on diner numbers.
A first test for hospitality owners was over the weekend when Teeks and Sir Dave Dobbyn packed out the theatre. While some owners are feeling optimistic for the future, others believe the theatre has failed to deliver the promised crowds, albeit it is a quiet time of year.
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
-
9.5% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.4% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.2% Against. I want to deal with people.
Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
