Chipstead Probus Club

Probus is open to partially or fully retired professional and businessmen resident in the vicinity of Chipstead.  It exists to promote companionship among members through regular meetings (with refreshments) and visits to places of interest including theatres and concerts, as well as other social activities.

Membership usually numbers 55-60. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal. For those recently retired, the Club provides convivial company at a time of change to routine and faces. The main activity is the monthly chat over drinks followed by a moderately priced lunch at Chipstead Golf Club.

The programme of events, to which members may bring their partners and on occasion guests consists of 3-4 daytime outings and a similar number of theatre and concert visits during the year. Transport to these is by coach from Chipstead Meads, obviating parking and drink-drive problems. For those so inclined there is a monthly walk followed by a pub lunch. Two Ladies’ Lunches are held each year at varying venues.

The Club is not affiliated to any national administration, so running costs are kept to a minimum, permitting a modest entrance fee and low annual subscription. The financial aim is simply to ensure costs are covered.
