Social Events

Monthly lunches

Our main social event is the monthly Members' Lunch held at Thornton Hall Hotel in Thornton Hough, usually on the third Monday of every month. We gather at 11:30 for 12:00 and Club notices are read out before a three course lunch. After lunch, we relax whilst being entertained by a speaker. A wide array of topics is covered - please see the Speakers page. The proceedings generally finish some time after 3:00pm.

The next lunches will be on 28 April (later than usual due to Easter), 19 May and 16 June 2025.

Every October, we have our annual Chairman's Lunch to honour the outgoing Chairman. Members' Partners are invited to this lunch. More than 80 members and partners attended the 2024 Chairman's Lunch (pictured above). In January 2025, our current Chairman, Archie Peat, hosted a very enjoyable Burns Supper, which was attended by over 80 members and partners.

Coffee Mornings

Members can also meet at our weekly Coffee Mornings at the United Reformed Church in Heswall. No need to book, just turn up if you wish to join the lively chat. Full details are on the Coffee Mornings page.

Probus Partners social gatherings

Partners of current and former Probus Members meet once a month, alternating between morning coffee and a lunch in a local hostelry. Partners can just turn up at the coffee mornings but will usually need to book in advance for the bi-monthly lunches. Full details are on the Probus Partners page..

Social Outings

In addition to lunches and coffee mornings, our Social Committee organises regular social outing and trips for Members and Partners. Full details are on the Social Outings page.
