3 CELEBRATIONS

for ISEL’S 30 TH AnnIVErSArY

Isel Ladies Probus Club of Stoke celebrated its 30th Anniversary … 3 times! Initial celebrations consisted of a cake at the regular coffee morning at Gardens of the World. Secondly, with party poppers at the regular meal out and finally at the monthly meeting, with the Club’s most senior member, Margaret, cutting another cake. (Seen here with President Nadia.)

In 1998, after hearing there was a years-long waitlist to join a nearby Probus Club, Martin Ferner started Otari Probus Club, which had a crowd of over 100 at its first meeting. Martin was the Inaugural President and was in attendance this year to cut the cake at the Club’s 25th Anniversary Celebrations. Assisting him in cake-cutting was fellow Foundation Member, Angela. Around 60 members and guests, including 10 past Presidents, gathered at Winton Bowling Club to enjoy the festivities and a walk down memory lane. Current President Robyn was presented with a Framed Anniversary Certificate by Probus District Chairman Doug Langford.

NO NEED TO (AL)PACA LUNCH

Hornby Combined Probus Club had a great visit to the local Alpaca Farm, where members were able to feed these gentle creatures and learn about their habits. The members then travelled on to a local pub for lunch.
