What is Probus?
Probus is a non-sectarian, non-political luncheon club for professional and business men. The first Probus Club was set up by a group of ex-Rotarians in Caterham, Surrey, in 1966. The idea caught on and today Probus Clubs are to be found in many parts of the English-speaking world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and India.
Founded in 1972 with fourteen members, the Probus Club of Sevenoaks grew rapidly, with aims and activities similar to the Caterham club but by its own choice unaffiliated to any national organisation. There is a lunch group which meets monthly at the Bat and Ball Centre, usually on the second Monday of the month. Members pay for lunches at cost price and there is an annual subscription, currently ₤25, to cover administrative costs.
Our 130 members enjoy a variety of activities including:
