CLUB ACTIVITIES
Members of Hawkesbury Combined Probus Club enjoy a wide range of activities and companionship.
Club Meetings
Hawkesbury Probus Club meetings are held at the Richmond Club Auditorium on the third Monday of each month (excepting December).
Lunches in restaurants or other suitable locations are planned about 10 times each year. These are mostly in the Hawkesbury District but on some occasions they may be held elsewhere. In December the restaurant lunch gives way to a special Christmas lunch which is well attended by most members of the club. The location of this event may vary from year to year but is often held at the Richmond Golf Club.
Chatterbox Coffee Club
The Chatterbox Coffee Club enables members to catch up casually between club meetings.
Any member is very welcome to drop in to the nominated café on the published days.
Snooker Group
The Snooker Group meets at the Crowne Plaza, Hawkesbury Valley Way at Windsor on the first and third Thursday of the month.
These days are a lot of fun.
Following two hours of snooker members enjoy a meal from the bar.
Ten-Pin Bowling Group
Ten-Pin Bowling is played on the 4th Thursday of each month (excepting school holidays).
The venue is the Windsor Ten-Pin Bowl.
Outings
A wide variety of outings is organised for every month to locations in and around Sydney.
Transport is by chartered coach, public transport or car-share.
Last Carriage Club
As senior citizens, Probus members are able to take advantage of the New South Wales government policy of travelling with a Senior/Pensioner Opal card on public transport.
Regional, Interstate and Overseas Tours
From time to time tours are conducted by coach to regions away from Sydney to places of special interest.
Other tours, usually by coach but sometimes by ship are longer and go interstate.
Less frequently but very importantly there are groups who travel together for very enjoyable trips overseas.
Caravan Cabin Camping Club (CCC Club)
This is another group within the club. It does not require ownership of a caravan, motorhome or camping equipment as the group uses the facilities of holiday parks and caravan parks. Cabins are always available.
We have also introduced houseboat getaways to our events
Note that this activity is currently not active, pending a new convenor to take up the leadership.
Book Club
Members of the Book Club meet on the third Thursday of each month to discuss and exchange books.
The meetings are currently held at the Richmond Club.
Tennis Group
New players are very much welcome.
There is no requirement to be a good player.
The idea is simply to have some fun.
This Group meets monthly at Richmond Hawkesbury Tennis Centre, Windsor Street, Richmond.
