WHAT IS A PROBUS CLUB?

PROBUS is a local, national, and international association of retired people who come together in non-political, non-sectarian, non-profit, autonomous clubs. They provide regular opportunities for members to meet others in similar circumstances, with similar levels of interest, make new friends, and maintain and expand their interests.

Probus Clubs can be made up of men, women or be mixed (men and women) clubs. It is normal for the spouses of club members and widows of former members to be encouraged to participate in the social activities. An annual lunch is one occasion. There are around 100’s clubs in the UK.
Pontefract Probus Club was started over 50 years ago. Probus Clubs are clubs for retired or semi-retired people from all walks of life. We are a non-political, non-sectarian and non-profit, autonomous club
