Probus

My husband belongs to Probus, which has monthly meetings for retired business and professional men (very sexist!). A speaker (including women) will give them a talk on a range of subjects. I was invited to give them a talk about my childhood three years ago.

Does anyone on this forum belong to Probus?

Re: Probus

No thank you.

Re: Probus

To be frank if my husband wasn't brain damaged I very much doubt he would have given them a second glance. He often comes home and has a good moan about the way it is run, or the speakers.

Re: Probus

I have never heard of it tbh. I thought it was something to do with monkeys.

Re: Probus

There was quite a big group of them at a restaurant I was eating in last week. They all seemed fairly elderly and well dressed. There were women with them as well, so perhaps that is allowed at social events. It didn’t look like a very lively group

Re: Probus

Never heard of it Tara.
Do they do funny handshakes?
Or even milkshakes.
Sorry, I am in my usual silly mood.
Carry on.

Re: Probus

Probus is not exclusively for retired business and professional men tarantula. Women are well represented as well. It's nothing like the Masons.

Re: Probus

How interesting. Never heard of it and looked it up ln Google.
Professional Business people.
Not unlike the Rotary clubs.
Worldwide.

Did you give the talk Tara?

Re: Probus

Sounds like an OAP club for retired business Folk...Do They mostly talk about Their health or the war?
