About Probus

Probus clubs provide an opportunity for retired or semi-retired people to meet and socialise.

There are Probus groups all over the world, though the largest numbers are in the UK, Canada and Australia. There is no governing body for the Probus movement, and although most clubs follow a similar pattern, each local club decides its own format and rules. Many are linked to local Rotary Clubs.

About us

The Probus Club of Winchcombe is a relaxed and friendly group, with about 80 members. We meet fortnightly on Friday mornings.  At our meetings we socialise over coffee, and hear a talk by an invited speaker. Our thirstier members usually regroup afterwards in a local pub.

Besides our regular meetings, we organise occasional group lunches, outings to places of interest and other events. We have a walking group that meets monthly, and there are cycle rides for those who prefer a more energetic form of exercise.

If you would like know more about the Club, or enquire about joining, send an email to
