Brief History of Probus.
The Probus Movement was established by Rotary Clubs and was formed in 1966 in Caterham. It is an acronym for Pro (fessional) and Bus (iness). Today there are over 3,000,000 members in over 4,000 Probus Clubs worldwide. In the United Kingdom there are about 1,000,000 members. Ladies Probus Club in Menorca was founded in 2002 with an original membership of nine. We still have five of the original members. The club has grown over the years, keeping to a maximum of 50 members.
