Our activities
Discover the diverse range of activities that the Whitkirk Probus Club offers its members. We strive to provide engaging and enjoyable experiences for everyone.
Monthly meetings
We hold general meetings for our members on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month. The only exception is December, as we prepare for the Christmas season. These meetings provide a great opportunity to socialise and hear from guest speakers.
9.30 AM for coffee and biscuits and a 10.00 AM start for a talk or slideshow . Finish by 11.30. Some of us continue in the local pub for more coffee, a drink or lunch.
