CLUB ACTIVITIES INVOLVING IN-PERSON INTERACTIONS CONTINUE TO BE SUSPENDED UNTIL THE END OF JUNE 2020.

CLUB TRAVEL OPPORTUNITIES ARE SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY.

​

Social Events between meetings can range from sporting events, live theatre, travel, visits to places of interest, to any other activity that the Social Committee wishes to organize. These are usually one time events, one per month generally, but you can participate in as many events as you wish!  ​

A description of events is shown below.  If you are interested in participating in a Social Event, please contact social.portperryprobus@gmail.com. 

Please note that event costs will need to be pre-paid by cheque, payable to PROBUS Club of Port Perry and either:

1. handed in to our Social Committee Co-Chairs, Margaret Miller or Judy Spring  at monthly membership meetings or

2. mailed to Social, c/o Judith Spring, 22 Crescent Moon Lane, Seagrave, ON  L0C 1G0. 

Only payment in full by the deadline confirms registration for the event, and events with limited attendance will be filled by members in order of when the payment is received. 

​

If you are unable to sign up in person, please use email or phone to let us know you’re interested and to arrange payment. Refunds are only issued under exceptional circumstances, so if it turns out you are unable to attend an event, please offer your ticket to other members or guests.

day. If you don’t have their contact information, email Judy at judith.spring@outlook.com and the information will be provided.
