What is Probus?

Probus Clubs are all independent entities whose members are part of a world-wide network of clubs which enable retired and semi-retired professional and business people to enjoy meeting others with similar interests and share experiences. There are male, female and mixed probus branches, all of which govern themselves through a committee of volunteers who organise activities such as lunches, talks, trips, tours and other things for their members. There are self-financing central Probus facilities which support the network in the UK and worldwide; they enable individual clubs to share their experiences and knowledge by publishing the Probus magazine, maintaining the Probus Global website and supplying Probus products .

Probus Club of Cardiff Llanishen

Cardiff Llanishen is a Probus club which currently has  91 male members; it was formed in 1992 by the Rotary Club of Llanishen as part of its Community Service Programme. We aim to provide fellowship for retired men of professional and business backgrounds to enable them to regularly meet at and enjoy organised events on a monthly basis; we held our 300th meeting on October 21 2021.

Our meetings are held monthly at Cardiff Golf Club, Sherborne Avenue, Cyncoed. Cardiff  CF23 6SJ on the third Thursday morning of each month. We assemble at 10.15am and after a brief pastoral and administrative updating session enjoy a talk by a guest speaker starting at 11.00am, but not in May or December. Members normally stay for a single course, reasonably priced lunch which is ordered on arrival. You can see the range of subjects covered in our talks on our calendar which includes special lunches and dinners.
