PROBUS MOVEMENT

The genesis of Probus in Ireland dates from the mid 1971 when it was inaugurated by Rotary in Ireland, which is attached to Rotary International. The first Probus club in Ireland was inaugurated in Bangor Co Down on 1 June 1971. The Probus Movement has no central world body. Each Probus club is autonomous, making its own rules and decisions about time, venue and regularity of meetings and the format these follow. At establishment each Probus club is sponsored by a local Rotary club, or group of Rotary clubs. Once established club members are responsible for leadership. The essential purpose is to facilitate regular gatherings of persons, who in retirement, value opportunities to meet counterparts with broadly similar interests... We are a branch of the Probus Marine Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, Ireland.
