Many men, once they have retired, miss the stimulation and company of work, not to mention the frequent cups of tea or coffee. The Probus Club of Skegness came into existence in 1974 to provide a thought-provoking meeting point for men who had retired from a business or profession, where something of interest could be learned while making friends with others in similar circumstances.
Probus members have wide-ranging backgrounds - engineering, education, the civil service, local government, general management, farming, and other professions. Many members are also involved in a variety of community activities.
The Club meetings provide an opportunity to socialise over a cup of tea or coffee for an hour, followed by a further hour when we have speakers on a wide variety of subjects. The club has an annual subscription of £19.00.
There are occasional events such as trips to places of interest, to which partners and friends are invited.
