Welcome

Painswick Probus Club was formed in 1990, its objective being to provide a regular meeting point for retired professional and business men residing in Painswick and the surrounding villages. It also provides the opportunity to socialise with others in similar circumstances.

The club is run by the members for the members and there is an active Ladies Group who meet regularly.

Currently about 60 enjoy the clubs’ activities and new members are always welcome.

Meetings
We meet every fortnight on Wednesdays at the Falcon Inn, Painswick, where coffee is served at 10 o’clock. The meetings commence at 10.30pm and last about 1.5 hours. Speakers are engaged on a wide range of topics.

Outings
Twice a year, visits are arranged to places of interest. In recent years visits have included the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton, the Palace of Westminster and Big Ben, SS Great Britain and Gatcombe Court. We have also cruised on the Waverley paddle steamer and enjoyed a canal boat on the river Avon

Meals
A Ladies Lunch and Christmas Dinner are held annually.

Details of all our events are shown in the Diary

Membership
New members and visitors are warmly welcome. If you are interested in attending a meeting or joining the club please contact a Committee Member. The annual subscription is £42.

There is no joining fee.

Yew Trees at Painswick
Painswick churchyard is famous for its abundance of yew trees which are immaculately kept. This maintenance costs a great deal and an ingenious scheme has been devised by the town fathers to raise that money. Each yew tree can be sponsored for a fee.

We at Painswick Probus have dug deep and sponsored one of the trees - here it is, No.42!
