Chichester & District Probus Club

The Club largely comprises retired professional and business people aged over 60 living in the area. There are various meetings each month - a lunch followed by a speaker; a drop-in coffee morning, especially for new members; and a leisure walk group which follows a circular route back to a pub for lunch! There are also a variety of social outings – September saw a cruise of the Portsmouth Dock Yard followed by lunch.

Newcomers to the area are especially welcome. For more information contact John Hargreaves, secretary@chichesterprobusclub or alternatively visit www.chichesterprobus.club.
