St.  Albans Probus Club
For Retired Professional and Business Men


Chairman's Review - July 2010

Well it is nearly four months since the Club had its AGM and there is a saying that ‘a new broom sweeps clean’. This may have applied to the General Election result but I am not so sure as regards the running of Probus! Can I assure everybody that the Committee do take on board any sensible suggestions that have come from members and that a lot of thought goes into how we can maintain or improve a very successful organisation. Therefore, if you think that there are things that need changing, please tell a Committee member and it will be discussed at our bi-monthly Committee meeting.

I think that we have all settled into our new abode at Ashwell House, but due to various increases announced in the latest Budget, do not be surprised if you hear that the cost of the meal may have to be increased from 2011. Needless to say that you will all be advised nearer the time.

On a lighter note, arrangements for next year’s Spring Break are in full swing, and details are now being circulated to all members..

Lastly, to those who are unable to come to the Summer Barbecue on the 9thAugust, please note that our next events at Ashwell House will be our coffee morning on the 9th September (second Thursday) and our lunch on the 30th September (last Thursday) .

I hope you all have a great Summer break, whatever you are doing .

Peter Fletcher

Chairman
