than we would have liked) a number of us enjoyed the very surprisingly .
large range of exhibits at Amberley. Movement around the large site was
made easy by the range of free transport available - train, bus and
traction engine. A most enjoyable day out.

the meal was superb and all our members and their wives enjoyed a very
pleasant social occasion.

pleasant pint in a nearby Pub.

are planned for summer 2012. This will again
be at a recognised Croquet Club sited in the country
with really pleasant views over the South Downs and easy parking.
As before it will be sponsored by a very
good Probus member who is prepared to teach , instruct and generally ensure
that we have a very pleasant time.

on the Paddle Steamer Waverley on 15

day and a most pleasant calm sea. The party, under the genial
