A sample of some of our social events from 2026:

In September a small group of Probus members (and friends) visited The Hastings Ostrich Farm which proved to be a fantastic day out according to those who went. The farm has over 3000 ostriches and produces a range of goods, including traditional ostrich feather dusters. The owner spoke about the business they have been running since 1985, the trials and the unique products they produce. You can even buy an ostrich for a pet. Naturally, the group shared lunch after the tour.

Once again in October some members went to Geelong to see and hear Bernadette Robinson, part of the Morning Melodies series. It didn’t disappoint. What an amazing voice. To quote one member “I shut my eyes for a chunk of the show and was transported to a concert in the 70’s starring Eartha Kitt, Barbra Streisand, Dolly Parton, Maria Callas and the list goes on. Her pianist was amazing on a beautiful grand piano too”.

There was lunch after which is always a lovely opportunity to chat and share stories.
