PROBUS SOUTH PACIFIC

Probus is an association of active retirees who join together in clubs, the basic purpose of which is to provide regular opportunities for them to keep their minds active, expand their interests and to enjoy the fellowship of new friends... Probus was introduced into New Zealand in 1974, and to Australia in 1976. The promotion through Rotary Clubs was very rapid; so much so that its membership is now far larger in size than that of Rotary Clubs in Australia and New Zealand... Probus began in England when two Rotarians, independently and without knowledge of each other's activities, persuaded their respective Rotary Clubs to establish local groups or clubs which would provide fellowship and intellectual stimulation for retired business and professional men.
