Twice-monthly meetings are held at the Windrush Leisure Centre OX28 4YA
at 10.00am (open from 09.30am) on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month
The Langel Probus Club is a social club for retired or semi-retired men with a business or professional background.
At each meeting there is a speaker: the subjects vary greatly and are always interesting. There is an optional programme of visits to places of interest and entertainment; visits are open to partners and friends. It is not a luncheon club but once a month there is an opportunity to join members, partners and friends for an inexpensive lunch at a local venue.
Prospective members, whether long standing residents or recent arrivals to the area, are made welcome and are invited to attend three meetings before deciding about membership.
If you are not a member
but interested in joining please contact
the Secretary, Ron Lee, on
01993 702610.
