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.

Vandals have repeatedly damaged public amenities across the Waikato District, leaving ratepayers to pick up the bill. So far in 2025, the cost has climbed to nearly $123,000, reports the Waikato Times.
The council is urging residents to report vandalism as soon as possible.
