Knowle Probus Club - Programme of Meetings


updated 14/07/11

Our programme for 2011-2012 is outlined below.

Listening to an interesting after lunch talk

Please note that sometimes due to unforseen circumstances, guest speakers may be unavailable at short notice. In these circumstances, the Speakers' Secretary will attempt to find an equally interesting substitute speaker & talk.

All meetings are held on the 3^rd Tuesday of every month (except December) at 12 noon for 12.30pm.

Members are reminded of the strict rule that unless they notify the Luncheon Secretary of their non-attendance by 10.00pm on the Friday previous to any given meeting, attendance will be presumed and, therefore, they will be expected to pay the luncheon money due.

Members wishing to introduce a guest, must contact the Luncheon Secretary by the Friday before a meeting to secure a luncheon place.

Non-members (men*) considering joining the Club should contact us and we will then invite them as a guest to a future Probus lunch. Contact us>>
