THE fifth annual ladies lunch for the Probus Club of Port Stephens saw 65 ladies celebrating at the “All That Jazz” themed occassion.

President Ann Gibson and a team organised the lunch at Baroque in Nelson Bay.

Raffles and entertainment along with a great vibe made the event something rather special.

Members are encouraged to bring a friend or two along to share the day.

Seven of the ladies took to the stage under the direction of Jo Burgess with a chorus line and two cameo performances from the stage show movie, Chicago.

President Ann Gibson told News Of The Area, “The Probus Club of Port Stephens is a social organisation of mixed gender for retired and semi-retired couples and singles.”

“Fun, Fellowship and Friendship is the credence for Probus Clubs and many activities are organised for the participation and enjoyment of members.”

“Port Stephens Probus Club offers dining, day trips, stage shows in Sydney, barbecues, impromptu picnics, walking groups, bowls (social and competitive), croquet and golf fun days.

There is snooker for the boys and fishing and club darts are also in the pipeline.

The aim of the club is to welcome new friends and include them in the family atmosphere.
Social interaction and inclusion makes for a lot of happiness and contentment, particularly if retirees are new to the area.

The club meets on the second Thursday of the month, 9.30am at Nelson Bay Bowling Club.

Visitors are very welcome to attend. You can find out more at www.probusclubofportstephens.org.
