Probus Club Publicity June 2025

Probus Publicity for June 2025

We have received positive feedback from all local magazines that receive our reports, with the exception of the Loddon Valley Link from Sherfield. A rarity was the Basingstoke Gazette carrying our report.

Otherwise, good coverage perhaps because of the two presidents on show which will be welcomed by the Ladies’ Probus Club.

The Basinga runs a month late with our reports.
