First a public thank you to Reg Ward and Charles Garraway, my predecessors, for carrying the Club through the pandemic, and bringing it back to life with some new members.  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 Farnborough Abbey, Centrifuge & Farnborough Air Sciences Trust,The Royal Opera House, RNLI College Poole, and the Swan Upping on the Thames.  In the future we have a visit to Goodwood Racing, the Army Logistics Museum, The Commandants Parade Sandhurst, and Dover Castle.  This has also been coupled with an 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'.
