Social Programmes
Our social programmes usually include our wives/partners. The following list shows what is planned for the current Probus year.
Outside trips usually try to take place on the fourth Thursday of most months. Until such time as trips are firmed up, it is anticipated that we shall continue with having a social drink/lunch at the Queen’s College Arms at Pamber End on the Aldermaston Road at 12.00 noon on the fourth Thursday of a month. Notice of outside trips will be given as soon as possible and this site will be amended with their basic details.
