A COLWYN Bay club for retired men is planning a recruitment drive in the New Year.

Probus members meet once a month at the cricket club in Rhos on Sea to socialise over lunch and hear the occasional guest speaker.

Bob Britland, membership secretary said: “Membership numbers fell a little this year so we will be actively recruiting. There are plenty of retired men around, but not everyone has heard of Probus.

“We don’t organise fund-raising events or seek a high public profile. The idea is that men from all walks of life can enjoy like minded company in pleasant surroundings and explore new subjects through guest speakers.”

At the club’s annual general meeting last week retiring chairman Allister Maxwell handed over to former surgeon David Walker, of Llanrhos.
