Come and join us for our annual summer barbeque at Bobbin Head on Monday 9th January 2023 from 12.00pm midday. Yes, it’s midday! Because we are now required to book the Pavillion for the whole day, we may as well make use of the time available. There is no finishing time. Stay as long as you want!
The Pavillion is across the bridge and to the right, opposite the old brick building now used as a café and park office. Parking is close by. Bring your own food, drinks etc. An electric barbeque is available.
Cost $10 per person, to cover the increased cost of hiring the Pavillion for the afternoon. Also, there is the usual park entrance fee if you do not have a pass. As usual, prizes for lucky winners will be there again!

Following our visit to The Carrington, we will enjoy a short drive along the cliff tops to Echo Point, where you can soak up spectacular views of the Jamison Valley and the unique rock formation of the Three Sisters. From there we will head to Jamison Lookout at Wentworth Falls which provides beautiful views south over Jamison Valley towards Mount Solitary and beyond.

Probus Club of Bobbin Head
The next General Meeting will be held at Turramurra Bowling Club on Momnday 8th August 2022 at 10:00 am. Visitors are most welcome. Our speaker will be Dr. Richard Harris on Medical and other Adventures.
At our May meeting, our speaker was Rosemary McCulloch who entertained us on Behind the Scenes at the BBC.
In her entertaining and informative presentation, Rosemary reminisces about her experiences during the 17 years that she spent working behind the scenes at the BBC and the many roles that she filled during that time - including that of news reader, interviewer, sound engineer and sound effects person, to name a few.
Rosemary describes the stress of working on live broadcasts when things don’t go quite as planned and shares personal glimpses of the famous people - such as David Attenborough – whom she met during the course of her career.
Rosemary McCulloch Background
Prior to coming to Australia 15 years ago, Rosemary McCulloch was a lecturer and tutor in public speaking and presentation skills in UK, Europe and Singapore. Before that, she worked for BBC Radio for seventeen years as an overseas announcer, producer and interviewer. She is now President of U3A Northern Beaches which has a healthy membership of just over 1,200.

Golf group
For those golfing members who would like to have a social game once a month, the PBH Golf group has commenced, meeting at North Turramurra golf course on the first Tuesday of each month at 1pm. Our next round is on Tuesday 5th July. Currently we play 10 holes (not nine due to the course layout) and play once a month. The current cost for 10 holes is $18 while a cost of an electric cart, if required, is $25. It is intended to increase this to playing 18 holes and possibly to twice monthly over time.
Whether members are current golfers or beginners, both are most welcome. Please contact Simon Solomons
