Spring

Our Activities:-

Welcome to Pinewood Combined Probus Club website

Welcome to both members and others. We are still in stage 4 lockdown due to the COVID 19 crisis, but there is hope on the horizon. Numbers of people catching the virus in Victoria are falling, and we are NOW due to have the stage 4 restrictions relaxed on 28 September if the current trend continues. The roadmap to reopening is available here.

Coffee Time. In the meantime we have organised an online activity for members of the club to enable us to catch up with other members. Bring your coffee, cake, biscuits for Morning Coffee and a Chat at 10:00AM on Tuesday 8^th of September on Zoom. Mark it in your diary, you will receive an email inviting you to the event shortly.

If you haven’t used Zoom before, you should have already received an email explaining how to install Zoom on your PC, laptop or iPad and inviting you to a practice Zoom session next Wednesday 2^nd September. See your email for details or call Ray on 0414 635 912 or Andy on 0400 987 671. Look forward to seeing you for a chat in the next week or so.

Corona Virus Update We are still in stage 4 restrictions until September 13th and have to wear masks whenever in public, there are restrictions on when and how we can exercise, a curfew after 8 PM till 5 AM, and some businesses have to close or curtail their operation. Its not pleasant having these restrictions, but they are necessary to overcome this very nasty disease. So keep using your masks when out of your home, wash your hands often and observe social distancing. It protects all of us, especially as most of us are in the vulnerable age group.

Hopefully this will enable Victoria to get on top of the dreadful death toll from this horrible disease.

Masks

Remember you can always call a friend or communicate via our Facebook Page (Members Only). We are in the vulnerable demographic for this virus due to our age, so we urge you all to follow the current advice about keeping a social distance from others, avoiding crowds, and washing hands thoroughly and often. And wear your mask whenever you leave the house.

More detailed current advice from the Australian Government Department of Health is available here.

The Club Committee, Book Club and the Caravan and Camping group have been having committee meetings using the Zoom online meeting application. We may be part of the older generation, but all committee members and the Caravan and Cabin group have successfully conquered the technological challenges and have loaded, tested and used Zoom to participate in the meetings. Its great to be able to see who you are talking to, so we encourage all members to use Zoom, Skype, Messenger or other similar technology to keep in touch with family and friends during this difficult time.

Keep your eye on the Club Calendar for information about activities which MAY be restarted sometime soon.
