PROBUS is an international organisation which has grown from the first club formed in the mid 1960’s by the Caterham Rotary Club to provide social meeting facilities for retired professional and business men. Later, lady’s clubs were also formed one of which we have in Fakenham.

The Fakenham men’s club was formed in the 1980’s; members meet on the second Monday of every month, at the increasingly popular venue provided by the Masonic Hall in Hayes Lane, Fakenham. Membership includes both retired and semi-retired men who have had careers in a wide range of industries and professions.

Between 10:30 and 11:00 members assemble for coffee and a chat. About 11:00 a speaker gives a 45 minute talk, often illustrated with a variety of visual aids, the topics of which range widely.

Following the talk, members retire to the bar to enjoy a drink with friends and those stopping to lunch go on to sit down for a two-course meal which is cooked on the premises. Generally the meeting breaks up about 1:30 to 2:00PM.

Membership and lunch costs

Membership subscriptions are currently set at £10.00 per year and lunch costs £10.00 per meal.

So that potential members can “taste” the benefits of membership the club offers a one-off “Try before you buy” visit. For just £5.00, a visitor can enjoy the facilities of the club including coffee, talk, bar facilities and two-course lunch.

If you would like to take advantage of this offer, just phone one of the people below to make arrangements.
