Busy agenda for Copacabana Probus members

Copacabana Probus Club has been growing in popularity since it started six years ago.

Following a two-year pause during COVID, the club regrouped and now has 65 members.

President Roy Etherington said Probus endeavoured to provide members with the opportunity to connect socially with local like-minded people who valued fun, fellowship and friendship.

“That is so important in today’s world and we offer a wide range of activities for members to enjoy, which include walks, book club and a social evening each month,” he said.

Some of the other activities enjoyed this year include tennis and barbecue day, a Sydney Harbour cruise, Laycock St Communigty Theatre events, a Christmas in July lunch and Shoal Bay whale watching.

All the activities appear on the club’s website – www.copapc.com

“In arranging these activities, we support local businesses including clubs, theatres, restaurants and various events from all over the Central Coast,” Etherington said.

“This month a group of members attended The History of British Rock held at the arboretum at Pearl Beach.

“This fabulous event supports the ongoing care of the arboretum for future generations.”

Copacabana Probus Club members meet on the second Monday of each month at Copacabana Surf Club, starting at 10am.

The general meeting is followed by a guest speaker, then morning tea.

“To make the meetings more interesting, we have incorporated a short quiz segment, designed to engage member participation and to keep minds active, all while having fun,” Etherington said.

Membership is open to anyone who is retired or semi-retired.

Once a year Copacabana Probus organises an annual trip.

Since COVID, members have been to Norfolk Island and Fiji and this year a trip is being planned to attend Griffith Spring Festival in October 2025.

Visitors are welcome to attend three activities including meetings.
