Welcome to Knowle PROBUS
Knowle Probus is a local association of retired and semi-retired professional and business men in Knowle, Solihull. The name is an amalgam of the abbreviation of the words PROfessional and BUSiness.
Starting in the 1960s, there are now over 1,500 clubs throughout the UK, plus others in Australia, New Zealand and across the world.
Knowle Probus provides an opportunity for like-minded retirees to meet over lunch and enjoy a talk on a variety of topics. The members come from a wide range of interesting professional backgrounds and enjoy the camaraderie from belonging to the organisation. Wives and partners are invited to a lunch in July and again in December.
