Welcome to the Melbourne Bearbrass Probus website.  At last, some green shoots of normal life are starting to appear! After so many months of lock-down I'm sure I'm not the only one appreciating some of the little things in life which I had previously taken for granted. They include sitting down at a coffee shop, eating out, seeing friends in their home and visiting the grandchildren.
 
Even though we've had government restrictions in place, there's been plenty of activity in our energetic little club. The speaker program has continued to be first class, the coffee meetings always interesting and entertaining, the book and film groups involved with engaging topics and vigorous discussions and the quiz nights providing great fun and knowledge.  And of course the Melbourne Cup and AFL grand final activities were also great fun. 
 
The recent lessening of restrictions has allowed us to meet again face-to-face for “picnics in the park” and the cycling group had its first outing. Our fortnightly “coffee catch-up” is now face-to-face at Buluk park in Docklands, the golf group and the wine tasting team are both active and we will be meeting for a lunch at a Docklands restaurant in the next few weeks. 
Continued lessening of restrictions means that we can now start additional activities like walking groups, tours of local landmarks and trips out of Melbourne.
 
I commend you to read the articles below, which give an idea about the type of activities we have been undertaking and stories about our interesting and fun membership group. Remember to click any "Read More" link for extra detail.

All the best, Mel Gray
