ON June 26 the Probus Club met at its usual venue the Kings Court Hotel and after lunch we were entertained by Alan Parry who talked about The Green Dragon. Many members thought this would be about a local hostelry, but it is in fact the symbol on a mascot for the National Children’s Homes, now known as Action for Children. Alan told us of the various fund-raising events over the years and in particular his acting as Father Christmas at many Yuletide events. A very interesting and informative talk much enjoyed by all. The Probus Club is now open for some new members. We meet on the fourth Wednesday of each month for a buffet lunch almost always followed by an interesting speaker. Anyone interested in joining us should contact the secretary Bob Woodfield on 01789 766217.
