We are a local club for retired or semi-retired gents. We meet at a local pub on the 3rd Thursday of each month for lunch, which includes an expert speaker addressing a wide range of subjects. We also organize visits to a wide ranging spectrum of places that are often not accessible to the general public. We also have a program of events such as skittles and quizzes.
Who We Are
​
We aim to provide a vibrant social calendar for those seeking to create new friendships at a time when children leave home and retirement may beckon after a busy career which is coming to an end. Finding things to do with those of a like mind can be a daunting prospect. By joining our club for lunches and a variety of engaging, sociable activities, we offer a chance to fulfill that part of your life in the future.

Lunches at West Sussex Golf Club are very popular
South Downs Probus Club recently had their Summer lunch with their wives at The West Sussex Golf Club. It was the first meeting following the retirement of the President for the last two years, Don Johnston, and the inauguration of this year’s President, David Brewerton. Don is grateful that some members of his Committee have remained to provide continuity to the proceedings of the club and also to some new members taking office to ensure that all the events in which they participate do run smoothly. David Brewerton was a Chartered Civil Engineer and brings his own charm and leadership skills to the Presidency.
In the coming months we have a guided visit to Firle Place followed by a pub lunch and then in August the annual inter-Probus Croquet match takes place at Southwick Croquet Club. This is always a great day of competitive fun and also includes an excellent buffet lunch put on by the Croquet Club. In September we are off on The Bluebell Railway for a day out. And each month we have the members lunches which are at The George & Dragon near Shipley and are addressed by a speaker on an eclectic range of subjects. Last month a group of members had a guided tour of Loseley House. The guide’s astonishing detailed knowledge of the house and all its history was very impressive and really brought the place to life
