Probus Club of Godalming

Retired or retiring soon? Why not join us at the Probus Club of Godalming. We are a friendly group of retired professional men who meet monthly in Godalming for lunch followed by a speaker. We also meet every month in a local pub for a coffee and a chat. We have an active walking group and organise outings and an annual Christmas lunch. We would be delighted if you were to join us. For more information visit our website www.godalmingprobus.com or e-mail our Secretary at pcgcommittee@gmail.com . Our next lunch will be on Friday 6th February '26. The speaker, John Field, will tell us about 'The Amazing World of Magic'; tales of the earliest known magician, the world’s oldest trick, the first book on magic, common fairground scams, and the current magic scene.

Our Lunch Meetings

Although we have no connection with the Freemasons our monthly lunches are currently held in the Godalming Masonic Hall, Ockford Road, Godalming. We meet there, usually on the first Friday of the month. Members arrive around 11.45 -1200 to congregate in the bar for a pre-lunch drink and conversation with fellow members.  The bar is well stocked with both alcoholic and soft drinks. 

​At 12.30 members and their guests move into the dining room for a table-served two course lunch followed by coffee.  Drinks to accompany lunch may be purchased from the bar. 

​​Each month lunch is followed by a talk given by an invited guest speaker.  Recent talks have taken us from the blocking of the Suez Canal by an enormous container ship to the British eavesdropping on important German prisoners during WW2 The talks programme for the current year can be found here.

Our walking programme

The Club has a walking group for members and their partners and/or guests who enjoy walking in our glorious local countryside. The group generally meet on the third Thursday of the month.  The walk is in the morning, and is about 4 - 5 miles long usually starting and finishing at a local pub. Lunch in the pub is arranged for those who wish  to stay on after the walk. Regular walkers take it in turn to plan and lead the walk.

​Members who are interesting in joining any of our walks should contact our Club walks organiser, Dudley Hilton.
