The Ballan and District Probus Club is looking for new members after a year of success and growing its members.
The group creates a semi-structured opportunity for retired and semi-retired individuals to connect with other similar people.
The group has upwards of 20 members and meets on the third Monday of each month at 10am at the Ballan Scout Hall to connect individuals. Activities for the members include trips away, coffee and lunch dates, gardening groups, walking clubs or anything that the individuals choose to connect over.
Club secretary Ross Bullock says that the group is open to anyone that is keen to join in Ballan and all surrounding districts. The initiative has clubs looking for members across Australia and New Zealand including Melton, Daylesford and Bacchus Marsh, which includes a ladies only group.
“I think it’s important for people when they’re retired to maintain or create new strong social connections and relationships and stay involved with the things they are interested in” said Mr Bullock.
