About us Appleton Probus Club was founded in 1991 and has about 48 members. We presently have a few vacancies for new members. Please contact us for details. Email: info@appletonprobus.org.uk or ring Mike on 07713 162979 The annual subscription is £45 and is payable in April. New members joining mid-year pay a pro-rata amount. We meet twice a month at the Warrington Sports Club (Walton Lea Road, Higher Walton, Warrington, Cheshire, WA4 6SJ) for a lunch meeting (12 for 12:30) on the 2nd Wednesday and a coffee morning with a guest speaker at 10am on the 4th Wednesday. Click here for a map. On the first Wednesday of each month our golfing members meet for a round of golf at Walton Hall. On the third Wednesday of each month we have a modest two-hour walk in the countryside of northern Cheshire which is rounded off by a pub lunch with typically twenty or so walkers and their wives being joined by other members. We take advantage of the months (three or four per year) which happen to have five Wednesdays by having a mid-morning brunch and golf in the afternoon. Highlights of our social year are a festive Christmas Lunch in December, the President’s Lunch in March and a Ladies’ Invitation Lunch, when the members are joined by their wives and the widows of past members. Also very popular is our Mixed Bowling Day at Great Budworth in August when our wives join us for a very enjoyable event which includes a picnic lunch. Each year a variety of day trips and theatre visits are organised and we try to arrange one longer break during the year. In 2015 we flew to Jersey, taking in a coach tour of the island and exploring the war tunnels. Trips in 2017 included a week in lovely Llandrindod Wells as well as a day trip to the JCB factory in Staffordshire. 2019 saw us take a 5-day trip to Cromer in Norfolk, with a trip to Sandringham Palace. There are several Probus clubs in the Warrington area and with good links between them, members of these clubs share in each other’s regular activities including bowls and golf competitions. There is a thriving programme for members to take part in and our membership is continuing to grow. Please click on the buttons on the left to see details of our meetings and other social activities. New members are very welcome. Please contact us for membership details.
