Combined Probus Club of Paraparaumu
About Us
The Combined Probus Club of Paraparaumu was formed in 2003 and the members have enjoyed many years of great fun and fellowship.The various options engage members in activities that suit their physical capability, their budget and their lifestyle.
The Combined Probus Club of Paraparaumu is a mixed club comprising active men and women, who no longer work full time. Our club provides members with the opportunity to join together for a new lease of life. The club aims to stimulate thought and interest through participation in activities which provide regular opportunites to keep members' minds active, expand their interests and to enjoy the fellowship of new friends.
Our club is operated by a committee which is elected at the Annual General Meeting in March. The President serves for one year only, but other committee members may serve for longer periods.
The club is non-political, non-sectarian and non-profit making. The annual subscription fee is $30 and the aim is to operate at minimum cost to members.
