Mrs Ann Kennish
President's Post 2025 - 2026
The 19th March was the culmination of much preparation behind the scenes for the Annual General Meeting. I thank all those who willingly signed their nomination form to commit to being an Office Bearer, or providing leadership in the many other roles at the Club, during 2025-2026. As President I plan to highlight the core values of Probus.
It was my pleasure to welcome the new committee on the 9th April. It was a lengthy and productive meeting. The new committee members dealt with the regular agenda matters and enthusiastically started planning activities. As there had been no nomination for Outings Officer, the committee proceeded to “Plan B”. A wide range of ideas and suggestion were discussed for activities and a short list was prepared considering member costs and personal capacity. I’ll present details at the next General Meeting. Following the meeting the designated Office Bearers proceeded to the Westpac bank to change signatories.
Yours in Probus
Ann Kennish
The Annual General Meeting and Handover Lunch
Many thanks to the members who attended all three Club events on the 19th March 2025. There was a good attendance for: the General Meeting, the Annual General Meeting which included the Election of Office Bearers, and the Handover Lunch.
Each event ran smoothly thanks to the expertise of Brian McIntyre who was the overall Master of Ceremonies and Linda Footman who was an efficient Returning Officer at the AGM. Special thanks to all those members who nominated for positions to give the Club their time and attention this year, it is greatly appreciated.
At the Handover Lunch outgoing President, Chris Dyson, acknowledged the good work of the outgoing committee, gave a brief overview of his past year as President and thanked members for their support. Chris inducted and welcomed the new President (Ann Kennish) who in turn welcomed the new committee members and presented them with their badges of office and duty statements.
Ann thanked Chris and the previous committee, all members present at the lunch, and the staff of the venue.
The first meeting of the new committee is on 9th April 2025; when they will start planning 2025-26 activities.
General Meeting of members, guests and visitors on 16th April 10am - Harold Rossiter Rooms, 139 Kent St.
