There are well over 1,500 Probus clubs in Britain. Members are retired or semi-retired professional and business men (hence the title's 'pro' & 'bus'), and many executives of government and other organisations. Anyone in fact, who has held a measure of responsibility in any field of endeavour. Probus clubs exist solely to provide good fellowship and new friendships among contemporaries. They are unstuffy, non-sectarian, non-political and entirely autonomous.
