Storrington & District Probus Club

The Probus Club has had another busy month. On 8th March we held our monthly lunch meeting, at the Old Tollgate, Bramber.

Lunch was followed by a very interesting talk by Paul Fisher, entitled “Walk This Way”. Paul entertained us with many stories from his role as a Blue Badge tour guide.

Greyhound Evening- Brighton & Hove Stadium

On 16th March we joined forces with Chanctonbury Probus to visit Hove Stadium for an “evening at the dogs”. The 17 present were impressed by the facilities and the excellent view of the track from their tables. During the evening a delicious 3-course meal was enjoyed by all. 12 races were on the card and the club presented a trophy for the eleventh race which was won by Macho Camacho. .

Significant contributions were made to the Fund for Destitute Bookmakers although one of the members did actually end the evening in profit!

The owners and some club members are pictured with the winning greyhound. On 21st March the Club held a coffee morning at The White Horse, Pulborough. 24 members and wives attended and enjoyed the coffee and biscuits, as well as the many conversations. Thanks to Don Cleary for organising this.

The Club meets for Lunch on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at the Old Tollgate, Bramber. Each year, social events such as coffee mornings, regular walks, visits to places of interest, skittles, TenPin bowling etc. are enjoyed by Members, Partners, and Friends. The events for 2023 also include a trip to Exbury Gardens, and a 5-day holiday to Yorkshire.

We are looking for new members and if this might be of interest, we would be delighted to hear from you.
