Probus Club's 20th Anniversary

Last Monday, Audlem and District Probus Club celebrated it's 20th Anniversary at a special celebratory lunch at Brookfield Golf club.

The surviving founder members were led into the function room by Derek Rooke, the then Nantwich Rotary Club President who sponsored our Club, and Dorothy Parker whose husband Humphrey was the founding President.

The current Club President, David Mounteney, welcomed the founding members and a special guest – the President of the Nantwich Rotary and his wife, and said a few words of welcome to the 115 members and guests present.

Members and guests enjoyed an excellent three course lunch provided by Heather Cliffe and the staff of Brookfield Golf club and there followed a Royal Toast by the President.

Speeches followed by Derek Rooke who described the founding and growth of the Club into the vibrant club it now is. A toast to the guests present was followed by an entertaining response from Dinah Andrew.

An excellent afternoon was concluded with thanks to Roland Hall, the organiser, and staff at Brookfield Golf club.
