Meetings

The Lentune Probus Club and Lentune Probus Ladies Club meet in the Cornwallis Suite at South Lawn Hotel, Milford on Sea.

Lentune Probus Club meets on the second Monday of each month except August, the Ladies on the first Wednesday of each month except August.

In both instances, members arrive from 10.00 am for a coffee and chat, which is followed by a talk on a wide variety of interesting topics. 

Our meetings conclude with a drink at the bar and an excellent, convivial two course lunch, selected from a menu that varies each month.
