New Probus club doing much better than expected
THE newly-formed Port Douglas and District Probus Club, which was reformed after popular demand, is flourishing.
Since its inception in October 2024, the club has gone from strength to strength, with membership numbers and general interest increasing each month.
“The popularity of the Probus Club has already surpassed our expectations,” club secretary Chris Saint said.
On Friday, January 17, the club hosted its first outing with a cruise up Dickson Inlet on Lady Douglas.
“The occasion provided an excellent opportunity for members and prospective new members aboard to mix in an informal setting, have a chat, drink, plus eat and generally have a great time,” club publicity officer Dusty Howman said,
“It was a lovely sunny day with very calm water, even out the front. “And yes, there was a sighting of one small crocodile which disappeared pretty quickly when it spotted the Lady Douglas heading towards it.”
The next Port Douglas and District Probus Club meeting will be held at the Port Douglas Neighbourhood Centre in Mowbray Street at 10am on February 24.
