I am entering my second term in office and may I thank the committee for their continued support and our members for supporting our activities. Again my objective will be to further increase our numbers by making the lunches, speakers and events something that new members will be attracted to.
This year we have had a full events calendar including visits to the Army Logistics Museum, The Commandants Parade Sandhurst, and Dover Castle. A new venture is to hold informal lunches with our partners. This is in addition to our monthly lunches with the excellent range of after-lunch speakers.
Meeting friends before lunch in the excellent private bar at the Camberley Heath Golf Club (upstairs) allows all to renew friendships as well as creating new ones. We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of each month and sit down at tables of 6-8 for a 2 course lunch. We alternate between a starter/main and main/dessert followed by coffee/tea.
While this is principally a mens club, (there is a separate Camberley Ladies Probus Club), we invite our ladies to a Ladies Lunch (3 course) twice a year so it is far from being exclusive.
As with all groups, the future success depends on all members contributing to the running of the club, either in the form of joining the small committee for a couple of years or by constructive comments at the bar.
Hopefully you will join me in making our Club attractive to all in the true spirit of 'good friendship'.
