2026 Outings and Events
January 2026
Three members enjoyed a visit to the Old Central Fire Station.
February 2026
The annual President’s BBQ at Hillarys got off to an unexpectedly dramatic start when the sprinklers came on around 10:00 – threatening to wet all those seated around the picnic table and worse, the food! People scrambled to move themselves, food, chairs, plates etc. to safety amidst much laughter – the food was saved and a good time was had by all.
In early 2026 Jacqui and Iain Cooper welcomed their second grandchild, Lucy Rose – congratulations!
April 2026
Eight members attended a very useful PAWA Workshop on Building Better Clubs.

Kallaroo Probus Club celebrated its 28th birthday with a superb birthday cake, savoury eats, music, lot of time to chat and games – enjoyed by all.

Quite a large group of members visited the Wanneroo Regional Museum and were welcomed by Amelia. The group enjoyed their visit, finding the museum very interesting - and enjoyed their visit to the café for lunch afterwards.
Lunch at the Currambine Bar and Bistro
Members are invited to continue socialising here after the monthly general meetings.
Virtual Walk 30 June 2026
Nine hardy (some might say crazy) walkers met at Admiral Park in Heathridge to do laps around the oval on a windy, rainy day as part of the Probus WA 50th Anniversary Virttual Walk from Albany to Geraldton.
After some hilarious attempts at shelter, including in the nearby ladies toilet, the optimism of our Vice-President Brian proved justified - blue skies and sunshine returned - with a rainbow! We duly did our 15.8 kms towards the total distance before going for much needed coffee. Read the full story with more pics in the July Bulletin.
