Retirement can come too early for many people who want to remain active and enjoy meeting new people in a friendly environment. Probus clubs are for people who have retired or approaching retirement from their profession or business and want to maintain a social network with others who have similar interests new members are warmly welcomed.
The Probus Club of Sutton in the County of Surrey is a friendly organisation for both ladies and men who have retired from their profession or business and want to maintain a social network with others who have similar interests. Meetings are held monthly to enjoy a good meal, companionship and an interesting talk. Speakers cover a wide range of subjects from the worlds of work, sport, the arts, hobbies, to the environment and so on.
Membership is open to men and ladies who have retired or partly retired and who have worked in a professional or business environment or local residents.
