While we have to guard against complacency, it really does seem that for the time being at least restrictions are being lifted and we can live a somewhat more normal life. For The Probus Club of The Gap that means that we can organise social gatherings and, with care, go out and enjoy them. This is a big step forward and we are really revelling in it. Our next activity is, to no one’s surprise, a Melbourne Cup lunch. Members will get together at the Gap Tavern to enjoy a modest flutter and a lunch in company. The company is of course by far the most important part of this event. It is an Australian ritual 150 years old and it would be a great pity if it had to go by the wayside because of the pandemic. We are fortunate in Queensland that we can continue to enjoy it - of course, with all the new precautions. We will have a lunch at the Blind Tiger in The Gap Village next month, the first time we will have visited this venue. Our Christmas lunch, which will be at the Arana Leagues Club, is another important date in our annual calendar. We don’t meet over the summer break, so it will be February before we see some of our fellow members again. That makes it so important that we don’t have to forego this event. If we are all careful, and take all the precautions that we are supposed to take, then, hopefully, Queensland will continue to be a place where an active retirement can be enjoyed, without virtually imprisoning all the more elderly members of society. The mental health benefits alone are enormous, not to mention the addition to the sum of human happiness. If you would be interested in joining Probus, or just giving it a try, we would welcome your enquiry. Just call our secretary Jan on 0448 965 459. Places are available – no waiting list – and we’d love to put you on the mailing list and include you in the clubbishness!
