Probus: A summary<\/h2>\n

Probus is an association of retired and semi-retired people of 55 years or older, who assemble in clubs. They meet at either monthly or bi-weekly basis, at a fixed location and time. The main goal is keeping an active mind, expanding their interests and enjoying the fellowship of new friends. Membership is possible by co-optation.<\/p>\n

Probus is an acronym for retired PROfessional and BUSiness. Probus offers men\u2019s clubs, ladies\u2019 clubs and combined clubs. Membership is open to anyone of good character who has had some measure of responsibility or achievement in any field of worthy endeavour. Clubs are neither political or sectarian, nor profit making or fundraising.<\/p>\n

Probusclubs are required to adhere to a basic set of rules of operation in order to preserve their integrity and reputation and their \u2018Certificate of Approval\u2019 by Probus Nederland. Once established, the club becomes an autonomous organization and its members take over leadership.<\/p>\n
