About our Club

The Club was established by the Rotary Club of Runaway Bay in 1989, and is free from the constraints of service clubs.

Members of the Combined Probus Club of Paradise Point Inc. are a group who appreciate and value opportunities for social contact with others in similar circumstances. The club aims to stimulate thought, interest and participation in activities providing regular opportunities to keep member's minds active and expanding their interests while at the same time enjoying the fellowship of new friends at a time when horizons may be narrowing and opportunities to make new friends are limited.
