Spring Ladies’ Lunch Tuesday 13 May 2025

Janet Fagg President of Ladies’ Probus Club with Stephen Thair, President of the Probus Club of Basingstoke

The annual Spring Ladies ‘Lunch is one of several occasions during the year that the men of the Probus Club have lunch with the ladies in their lives.

This May it took place at the Test Valley Golf Club and had as their guest of honour, Janet Fagg, the President of Basingstoke’s Ladies’ Probus Club. She was in the company of friends as, like herself being the partner of a Probus member, several wives present are also members of the Ladies’ Probus Club which has been in continuous operation for nearly thirty-two years.

Speaking after lunch, Janet remarked of the convenience living with a member of the men’s Probus Club as it gave an insight into their speaker programme that enabled those suitable for a female audience could be identified. They had enjoyed a visit to a Japanese garden in Fleet and in the summer will be having an afternoon tea.

In the meantime, the men, together with any of their ladies who may be interested, in June are going to visit the grand house Kingston Lacy in Dorset. Other activities during the summer include a trip on the Basingstoke canal as well as their traditional summer pub lunch.
