Welcome to Interest Groups
WE HAVE INTEREST GROUPS that include books, dining, bridge, euchre, outings, outdoor activities and so much more – check out the Newsletter, Website and Calendar for a full range of interests.
IF YOU HAVE AN INTEREST OR HOBBY that you are willing to share, but don’t have the time or inclination for a monthly commitment? A POP-UP event may be just the thing you need. Contact Deb Andrews with the interest, date, time and group number you are comfortable with.
NEW MEMBERS are always welcome to join our Interest Groups. This is a great opportunity to make new friends while enjoying one or more of our activities.
If you are an Interest Group Convener, please keep us informed of any changes or items of interest so that the Calendar, Newsletter and Website can be updated. Each time you meet please keep a list of all participants including guests. This is for insurance purposes. If an incident occurs during a Probus sponsored event - no matter how minor - an incident report needs to be filled out and sent to the insurance company. Incident reports can be obtained from the Probus Canada website and/or your group leader. All info and directions are on the form.
Coordinators: Deb Andrews and Sheila Gossen (Tech Support)

| POT LUCK GROUPS |
You are indeed lucky if you belong to this group! Usually after our meal we don't have room for more, but if you would like to join us we do have room for more! The groups meet on the first Wednesday of each month to enjoy a pot-luck meal together. The groups generally meet separately in one anothers homes but during the months of July and August they get together for a picnic in either Annie Williams Park or Peake Fields. Come and give Potluck a try as an introduction to the new potluck calendar that starts in May. A really social activity that once a year changes the groups around. It would be a great time to register for the upcoming year that commences in May. Try it you will like it - especially the food! This is an excellent way to meet new members, reconnect with others, relax and enjoy discussions with delicious food. New members are very welcome Convenors: Beth Hannah and Renée Lefebvre Click Directory tab for Convenor contact info |
