Our Activities (not operational during COVID restrictions) |
Welcome to Pinewood Combined Probus Club website Welcome to both members and visitors to our website. Summer is here and we expect some nice weather which will encourage outdoor activities in the sun. With the strict lockdown conditions over we are finally able to travel, visit family, and see our grandchildren. We can even get in the caravan and travel to sunny places. Daily case numbers have been zero and zero for 30 days at the time of writing this, and with no active known cases in the whole state! Let's hope we continue to have few or no new cases and continue the current trend towards Covid Normal. The roadmap to reopening is available here. In the past month we have had a number of online activity for members of the club to enable us to catch up with other members, and finally a real live, in person activity on Wednesday 18th November. We met in Jells Park, and enjoyed a walk around the park before enjoying a picnic with tea or coffee, and good company. It was great to catch up with old Probus friends that e hadn't seen face to face for months. We also enjoyed a Happy Hour with guest Wilma McLean on Thursday 26 November 2020. Wilma now lives in Ireland but was an active member of PCPC for many years before moving back to Ireland. It was great to see her looking so well and happy living in her old country where she now has her family around her. It was great to say hello and hear her share stories about her move to Ireland
If you missed this happy hour, I will be uploading an edited version of the segment with Wilma to Youtube soon. Stay tuned for details of this link. Guest Speaker From the Zoom meeting on 12th November, Peter Hopgood representing the Stroke Foundation discusses his personal experience with stroke and talks about the types of stroke, their causes, treatment and prevention. If you missed the meeting, the following link will open a recorded version of the presentation including the interesting question and answer session that followed. Peter Hopgood from Stroke Foundation 12 Nov 2020 Corona Virus Update One restriction that is still in place is the need maintain social distancing and to wear face masks to the cover mouth and nose whenever in close proximity to other people - mainly in shops and supermarkets or other gathering places .Hopefully this will enable Victoria to continue the trend of no new cases and no deaths from this horrible disease. Latest news on the COVID Vaccine front is that more than one one US company is claiming a 90% plus success rate with a vaccine they have developed and are now seeking regulatory approval for the drug.
