Founded in 1985, we are a local Cambridge association of retired and semi-retired men who have typically held a position of responsibility in their working life. Our members come from professional and business backgrounds; some are retired members of a Rotary Club or 41 Club.
We usually meet in Madingley Hall
Madingley Hall is a part of Cambridge University and we are delighted to meet in its stylish college surroundings, though of course Granta Probus is independent of the University. There’s good car parking.
We meet in the bar around 12 noon prior to a served lunch at around 12.30 p.m. after which there are a few club announcements followed by a talk from an outside speaker. We also have monthly informal lunches, usually at the George & Dragon, Elsworth.
In October in place of the monthly meeting we hold a Ladies Luncheon.
Throughout the year we hold additional events to which wives, partners and guests are invited. The first is the black-tie President’s dinner, followed by a summer garden party and the Christmas dinner. There is usually a club outing in the early summer and an eclectic mix of smaller outings such as country walks, visits to local theatres, music venues, and a spotlight on popular pastimes.
