Probus Partners

Probus is primarily a social club for our members, but members' partners are always invited to our annual Chairman's Lunch and to regular social events. Many friendships have been formed amongst the partners after meeting others at lunches and social events. Sadly, following the demise of Probus members, their partners often lost contact with others they had met at Probus events.

The Probus Partners group was formed to enable widows of former members, and partners of current members, to meet socially at regular coffee mornings and lunches. It has been a roaring success and there are now over 40 in the group. The group meets once a month for coffee and a chat, and occasionally for lunch. These are ideal opportunities to socialise with other partners.

If you'd like to know more about the group, please contact Jean Cunliffe (pictured below lat the Partners lunch on 3rd February 2026) on 07930 662837, or via cunliffe.jean@gmail.com.

Coffee mornings and other social events

Coffee mornings are held once a month, generally at 10:30am on the first Tuesday, at the Red Fox in Thornton Hough. No need to book in advance - just turn up on the day! Our next coffee mornings will be on: Tuesday 3rd February, 3rd March and 7th April 2026 .

We also organise occasional lunches, for which booking in advance is essential. The last lunch was at the Fox & Hounds on 12th January, when 16 partners enjoyed an excellent meal - see photo below.

Please note that dates and venues are sometimes unavoidably changed. Please keep an eye on your emails or this webpage for up to date information.
