Bournemouth & District Probus Club About Us

We are a local association of retired and semi-retired professional and business people, and others who have had some measure of responsibility in any field of worthy endeavour, who are of character and respected in their communities. Clubs meet regularly for fellowship and an extension of their interests.

The name is an amalgam of the abbreviation of the words professional and business. Probus is also a Latin word meaning honest or virtuous, from which the English word “probity” is derived.

Each Probus club is autonomous. There is no central organisation and each club sets its own rules. 

Luncheon meetings are held at 10.30am on the second Tuesday of each month at The Marsham Court Hotel, Russell Cotes Road, Bournemouth.

Members are welcome to bring guests to any luncheon meeting other than the A.G.M. but should advise the Secretary of the name of the guest, by noon on the Friday before the lunch.

Coffee mornings are held at 10.30am on the last Tuesday of each month and partners and friends are most welcome. 

Membership application forms are available from the Secretary.
