Our Club

Our Probus Club provides an opportunity for retired men & women from PROfessional and BUSiness backgrounds in Innerleithen, Walkerburn & Traquair, including many from Peebles and the surrounding area, to attend regular meetings with like-minded people who appreciate varied interests.  The emphasis being on socialising and making new friends.

There are no restrictions on membership save that members should be retired, or semi-retired, from their principal profession or business.

We provide a friendly environment in which to meet, make new friends, enjoy conversation and listen to a programme of talks.  These are an eclectic mix of educational and entertaining subjects, normally followed by a lively Q&A session with the guest speaker.

The dress code is smart casual.

Our Club was founded in 1976, to cover the Central Borders. We presently have around 40 members and hold our regular meetings in the the Vale of Leithen Social Club, Innerleithen which has accessible entry.

We meet on the first and third Tuesdays of each month from October through to May for tea & coffee followed by the talk. Our meetings start at 9.45am where tea and coffee are provided and socialising with other members can take place.  The formal meeting starts at 10.30 for discussion of club matters followed by the guest talk.  Meetings usually finish around midday. 

We also have occasional outings to places of interest to members.  Reciprocal visits to other Clubs in the Borders are also arranged. There is an active walking group that members can join and a lively Christmas lunch.

There is a modest Annual Subscription Fee of just £15.00 plus £2.00 payable for each meeting attended.

We are always looking for new members who are  very warmly welcomed. Indeed tea and coffee are on us when you first come to visit! If you are interested you are invited to contact the Club Secretary.
