Bridge Group
The Bridge group started in January. More are welcome by signing up at any meeting. While the games will be set pairs against pairs, singles should not be deterred as we’ll find a way of accommodating them as well. There is an expectation of a reasonable level of proficiency (often called “kitchen bridge”)

Chop 'n Chat Groups
We have two Chop 'n Chat groups.
Members' take turns hosting and they demonstrate new and interesting recipes (and, of course, tasting is involved!). Men and women of PROBUS both find this group fun and enjoyable -- plus they have a great time learning new cooking tips and tricks and sharing their knowledge with each other.
