Founding member Murray Jones spoke about the club’s inception following the meeting, when 36 community members met back in 2005 to form a new Probus group.
“Our club has grown and flourished over the past 20 years, largely through a concentration on the Probus goals of friendship, fellowship and fun,” he said.
Mr Jones said he and his wife, Judy, had enjoyed attending Probus meetings and activities, and looked forward to more in the future.
President Carol Guille invited former president Brian Sharpe to cut a special 20th birthday cake before the break for morning tea.
