About Balwyn Men's Probus We are an active group of men living in and around Boroondara, determined to get the most out of our retirement. Our Club offers many diverse interest groups: Walking, Investment, Discussion, Movies, Coffee and Cake, Tek-Talk, Writing, Music Appreciation, Ukulele and Discovery Touring. We hold our monthly General Meeting on the last Friday of the month at the Balwyn Community Centre where we enjoy the company of friends we have made, and hear thought-provoking speakers. We follow the meeting with a chef-catered lunch and a glass of wine or other beverage for $20 (Visitors $10). We also have many special occasions when we get together with our wives, partners and friends, e.g., the annual Club BBQ, Christmas in July Lunch, Christmas Lunch and more. Membership is complimentary for two months and then $65 p.a. with no joining fee. If this sounds like a Club that may appeal to you, or you would like to visit us for lunch, please click "Contact Us" below to leave your name and phone number. A member of the committee will get back to you, usually within 48 hours, to answer any questions you may have. |  |
