Castlereagh Probus is an integral element of the International Probus Club movement, and it is one of only two Probus clubs based in the Sydney CBD. Castlereagh Probus Club meets at the Masonic Club on the first Monday of each month, and new members are always welcome. The President of Castlereagh Probus, John Jobling, indicated that the Probus philosophy had its origins in the Rotary Club movement. It offers men and women who have retired from their profession or business with a social network of people with similar interests – fellowship, events, meetings with an interesting speakers’ program, and travel, are all intertwined to achieve this offering. John added that the Probus suburban network is very strong but, being city-based, Castlereagh Probus Club is always happy to welcome new members so, if you’d like to enjoy fellowship with like-minded retirees, come along to a meeting or contact Maria Bieber, on 9571 9370. At the May Meeting (Monday 14 May) of Castlereagh Probus, Masonic Club Vice President John Moore will speak on the history of the iconic Kings Cup - the interstate competition for rowing. The history of the Kings Cup, which had its origin in World War 1, is both fascinating and controversial.
