Outings and events planned


Friday 17 February 2012
Trip to the Toyota factory in Thames. The bus will be free as it has been fully subsidised by a benefactor. 
Our grateful thank-you goes out to him.  
Morning tea will be provided by Toyota. 
The only cost to members will be $15.00 for lunch at the workingmans's club.
The bus, which holds 48, leaves at 08.00 from the bowling club.
This will indeed be a very good start to our new Probus year. 

The Mouse Trap is playing at the Dolphin Theatre Onehunga on Sunday March 4th at 4p.m. It is an amateur production but the theatre has a good name. The play itself played in London for 50 years and had excellent write ups.
Anyone wishing to attend please phone Marlene  4167231 before the evening of Wednesday February 15 so the bookings may be made. Could you please pass this message on to anyone you know without an email address.
Cost is either $22 or $25 depending on numbers.
Free parking is available and we could perhaps car share as arranged at the next club meeting.
Sorry for the short notice

 If you have any suggestions for trips/outings or say, themed meetings, talk to Marlene, or use the ideas/suggestions box at the club meetings.
