The Gap Probus Club

Two Volunteers Urgently Needed!

Social Club Secretary & Treasurer

The Gap Probus Club is an active and social group of people who enjoy monthly meetings with a topical speaker, day trips to Places of interest, such as Gold Coast by boat, St Helena, and historic Ipswich for example. Members also enjoy regular meals out, coffee meetings, longer trips away such as two or three #day trips. Our members’ main interests are in travel, gardening, reading, fitness, arts, culture and games and puzzles.

We are actively recruiting younger members or recently retired people, however we have immediate need of a Club Secretary and a Treasurer as our present incumbents have to retire for health and travel reasons. Our Annual General Meeting looms near and we have a care-taking arrangement contingency, however our need is NOW. Expedients such as job-sharing, short-term rotations, a “management committee” approach are all on the table but have not yet produced a solution.

The club is a vibrant and joyful place with around sixty active members. Outings, lunches, picnics, speakers, concert trips – all are fine, and people do have fun, but our legal obligations will not be met unless we fill these statutory positions.

If you are interested finding out more without commitment, we would be delighted to talk with you, and invite you to our meetings. Just call Rhoda on 0409 484 219. If you can contribute to staving off disaster, we’d really like to hear from you!

Year 5 students - Andrew, Ayla, Camille, Madeline and Rory and Year 6 students - Charlie, Jessica, Mollie and William, were selected to represent the school at the North West District Swimming trials held in February. All our swimmers put in huge efforts in their training, which resulted in them producing some very fast times in the pool. Congratulations to Ayla, Charlie and William who were selected for the North West District Swimming Team to compete at the Met North Regional trials. Well done, swim team!

Warm regards,
