The Probus Club of Newcastle recently celebrated its 40th anniversary, marking the occasion at the annual President’s Luncheon.
Members and their wives were joined by Probus District Chairman, Grahame Moy and Past
President of the Rotary Club of Newcastle, Patricia Glass.
“It was a very special coincidence that Patricia’s late husband, Dr John Glass, was President of the Rotary Club of Newcastle in 1984 when that club sponsored our club. Dr. Glass was very much involved in the formation of our Probus Club,” the Probus Club said in a statement.
Both Grahame Moy and Patricia Glass presented congratulatory certificates to incoming
President, Lindsay Threadgate, from Probus South Pacific and the Rotary Club of Newcastle
respectively.
A celebratory cake was jointly cut by Club President and life member, Arthur Coleman. Arthur has been an active member of the club since 1998 and served as Secretary for many years.
Following the formalities, everyone enjoyed a three course lunch, with the remainder of the afternoon was spent relaxing and enjoying each other’s company.
“We are hopeful that our club will continue to prosper for many years to come and maintain the Probus values of Fun, Friendship and Fellowship,” the Club said.
The Probus Club of Newcastle meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month at Souths Leagues Club in Merewether.
