Welcome to the Combined Probus Club of Belrose Inc
Club President – Mike Hartnell
Greetings everyone!
Welcome to December, the last month of the calendar year. Lots of
celebration this month with lots of food and drink and time with family and friends. You will hear so many uplifting Christmas Carols.
When you see or hear ‘Tis the season to be jolly’ stop and think for a moment. Isn’t every moment of every day, when you have air to breathe, food and drink to sustain you, and love and happiness to give, ‘the season to be jolly’? How much difference could your beautiful smile make to someone else today? We have so much to be grateful for.
In November we had some great times. Our visit to The Little Snail was a revelation. Food was great, service was excellent and the prices very friendly. We’ll be going there again. Thanks Megan.
At our General meeting we had the pleasure of hearing from Mike Munro who told us of some hardships in his family life as a child and teenager, and especially how the love of a good woman helped him turn his life and fortunes around. You could have heard a pin drop through his presentation as we all listened intently. Thanks Cherry.
Then it was off to the Gosford Chocolate Factory. Car sharing worked really well – thanks to all of our drivers who made it happen for us. An interesting and tasty day.
Talk about luck! Alison and Brian Soutter were lucky enough to be at the match when that stunning innings gave us victory in the first ashes cricket test in Perth.
December looks good. We’ll have our Christmas lunch at Cromer Golf Club which is always an excellent venue. Please book by 2nd December at the latest.
Planning is also on the way for January. A trip to the Art Gallery of NSW. Date to be confirmed, depending on the availability of an experienced guide. Also what about a ferry trip from Palm Beach to Ettalong Beach, lunch at the Ettalong Diggers Club then back by ferry. Who would like that? Details to be confirmed.
Sadly, recently we lost one of our beloved members, Tonia Glassock. Tonia who was one of our foundation members, passed away in hospital. Our love and thoughts are with her family.
Wishing you all a fabulous December and a very Happy Christmas.
Look forward to seeing you soon. Thanks for being such terrific people.
Mike
Thought for the month:
The past is past, and we can’t change it.
The present is right now, and it is just that, a present.
Let’s enjoy it and create as good a future as we can.
