Members of the Cromer & Sheringham Probus Club will celebrate its 50th anniversary in the year running from July 2024 to June 2025. Dave Vickery, who has been elected Club Chairman for that period, commented after his installation at the recent AGM:
“It is a special achievement for a club to run for 50 years and still be going strong. I have the honour of being chosen to Chair the Club as it reaches this milestone, and it is my mission to ensure that it is an enjoyable year for all our members, whether existing or yet to join us.
The programme of talks for the year is almost complete and draws heavily on speakers who have visited us before, so we are even more confident of the quality. We also take it as a compliment that they are keen to return, having enjoyed our company previously.
We start in July with the prominent meteorologist and occasional LookEast weather presenter, Chris Bell, giving an illustrated talk on his personal experiences of storm-chasing in his native USA. Chris is a top-class speaker, so we are very pleased to welcome him back.
Our programme finale will take place in May 2025. Norfolk’s all-round entertainer, Olly Day, will perform a post-lunch cabaret show. Members who remember his show for our 40th anniversary are looking forward to it already and will be able to bring partners and guests for this celebration event.
We have room to welcome new members and I am absolutely convinced that there are many more men in North Norfolk who would enjoy being part of the Club.”
The Club provides opportunities for men who have retired from their business or profession to meet up with old and new friends in a relaxed and purely social setting.
We gather for lunch once a month at The Links Hotel in West Runton and then, after the lunch, we hear the talk by the guest speaker. We ensure that there is a mix of topics covering local and general interests.
The programme of monthly lunches and guest speakers can be found on this website. Speakers and topics for the Jubilee Year are being added as they are confirmed.
Prospective new members are always welcome. Anyone interested can give Dave a call on 07930 372229.
