About Balwyn Men's Probus

We’re Balwyn Probus; our many activity groups, from Investment to Walking, and Coffee and Cake all meet monthly, and we welcome partners, friends and visitors to join us in all activities.

Monthly meetings are held on the fourth Friday of the month at the Balwyn Community Centre, when we hear a thought-provoking speaker and enjoy the company of friends the Club has helped us make. A chef-catered lunch with a glass of wine or other beverage follows.

If this sounds like a club that may appeal to you, we are looking for new members and a 60-DAY GUEST MEMBERSHIP is now available. Do get in touch; we’ll be happy to answer any questions and tell you more.
