about us
The Men’s Probus Club of Murray Bridge evolved from a meeting between the Rotary Club of Murray Bridge and the Rotary Club of Mobilong which was held on the 23rd of November 1983 at the Bridgeport Hotel.
Twenty-seven interested persons attended and a President, Vice President and executive officers were elected.
There were 37 foundation members and the membership subscription was set at $6.00 per month with morning tea at 30c. In February 1984 arrangements were made to meet at the Community Club. The first Annual General Meeting was held in March 1984 with all inaugural officers re-elected and Foundation Membership was closed.
The Men's Probus Club of Murray Bridge is an all-male social club for retired or partially retired men. It holds monthly meetings with stimulating, entertaining Guest Speakers together with "Who Am I?" presentations from our own members. The club also arranges a variety of social activities for retired or semi-retired men who reside in or near Murray Bridge, South Australia.
The club's basic purpose is to provide regular gatherings of people who, in their retirement, appreciate and value opportunities to meet others in similar circumstances with similar levels of interest. It provides opportunities for members to keep their minds active, expand their interests and enjoy the fellowship of new friends.
It is free from the obligations of service or raising funds.
