The Kimpton Probus Club was formed in February 2000. It is a
club for Kimpton men who are retired or semi retired to relax and enjoy good
fellowship. We meet monthly in the village at the Dacre Rooms (from August 2008)
for coffee and a talk from an outside speaker, or indeed from one of our members,
lasting approximately one hour. Following the meeting we adjourn to the White
Horse for an (optional) lunch and to enjoy a drink and a chat amongst other
members.
Since our formation we have enjoyed a wide range of speakers and recent subjects
of the talks have included : Historical Anecdotes of Kimpton; Auctioneering;
Organisation of the Fire Brigade for major disasters; St Albans Abbey and Scuba
Diving. We also undertake occasional outings, the most recent being to the Royal
Horticultural Gardens at Wisley that included a guided tour. Future visits will
include a guided tour of a well known brewery. Also, in December each year we
have a Christmas Lunch and in February we hold an Annual Dinner where our wives
are invited to join us.
We still have a few vacancies for new members, so if you think you may be interested
in joining us why not contact one of the Committee below or get an existing
member to bring you along as a guest.
