The Club Officers  2010/2011

Since the beginning of January 2007 all meetings are held at:-

Longwell Green Community Centre,

Shellards Road,

Longwell Green,

Nr. Bristol.

The club is one of the oldest Probus clubs in the Bristol area.

It was founded on the 8th. February 1973, and led the way to the formation of many other Probus Clubs on this side of Bristol.

We have some 44 active members, together with their ladies who attend some meetings, and we also have 20 or so "Friends of Probus", who are the widows of former members, who we invite to attend many activities, outings, and holidays.

The Club is not a Registered Charity, and does not have a favourite cause, but rather it encourages members to donate generously to the Charities of their choice.

Whilst each club is completely autonomous, ( there is no central organisation, National, Regional, or Local),   there is a co-operative, loose liaison between the Probus clubs of this area.
