About the Fairmile Probus Club

We are a non‑political, non‑sectarian social club run entirely by volunteers. Membership is open to all those who value conversation, curiosity, and community. Many of our members have lived or worked locally for decades, while others have joined more recently and quickly found a warm welcome.

Our Probus club brings together retired and semi‑retired people from a wide range of backgrounds who enjoy good company, stimulating talks, and an array of shared activities. We offer a friendly, relaxed environment where members can stay socially connected and continue to explore new interests. We offer friendship and fellowship,satisy curiosity and lifelong learning, ensureInclusion and respect and giveEnjoyment without formality.

Membership subscriptions cover the basic running costs of the club. Outings and lunches are optional and charged individually.

The club is managed by a small committee elected annually by the membership. Roles include Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and a leader for each of our activities.
