TOURS & OUTINGS
Tours
Hawkesbury Probus Tours are arranged with a variety of companies, depending on the destination and the itinerary.
These tours operate once or twice each year to locations of interest.
These tours vary in length from 2 days up to 7 days. In normal circumstances tours are usually by coach.
Occasionally tours are arranged in conjunction with other Probus Clubs and offered to all members.
Hawkesbury Combined Probus Club Members can access all current and planned Tours - Click Here
Outings
Hawkesbury Probus Outings are arranged every couple of months depending on availability.
Many are open to an unlimited number of participants but some are limited. This is usually because of transport but sometimes it is because of limitations imposed by an outside tour organizer.
​Members are sometimes able to bring friends but this will not be possible if it means any member who would like to participate cannot do so.
Prospective members on our waiting list will be welcome where space permits.
