Background
Probus clubs were the brainchild of Rotary and the formation of our Club in August 1989 was sponsored by the Cleveland Rotary Club. The first formal meeting of Toondah Probus was held in Cleveland on 12 October 1989. People outside of the Redlands are sometimes baffled by the name “Toondah” but locals know it is the name of a local harbour. The harbour was named after the steamer “Toondah” which was used to survey and beacon channels in Moreton Bay.
Toondah Probus provides opportunities for Senior Members of our community to join in Friendship, Fellowship and Fun.
We meet on the second Thursday of each month at 10:00am in the Gallipoli Room of the Redlands RSL, 8 Passage Street, Cleveland QLD 4163.
MONTHLY MEETINGS
Each meeting includes reports of activities, morning tea, a Cameo talk by a Club Member and an interesting Guest Speaker.
Many Members then socialise at lunch in the Redlands Sporting Club dining room.
SOCIAL EVENTS
Theatre outings, Activity Groups, Lunches, BBQ’S are organised on a regular basis. Day trips and short over-night trips and the at least one longer trip a year are organised to visit interesting sites. Sometimes in co-operation with other Probus Clubs which offers a broader social network of Toondah Members.
