IN THE BEGINNING

On Tuesday 27* of March 1984, after extensive newspaper advertising, an "interest" meeting was called by Rotarian Ted Johnson, acting on behalf of the Rotary Club of Kincumber to see if a Probus Club could be formed in the Kincumber district.

40 interested persons attended this meeting which was held in the club rooms of avoca beach bowling club , Ted Johnson, who was also president of the bowling club at the time, extended a warm welcome to those present. He introduced the president of the Rotary Club of Kincumber, Michael Hunter, who after speaking, in turn, introduced Wal Freeman, who was secretary of "Probus News"  Wal explained about the Probus movement and answered questions.

Attending the meeting were members of already formed clubs on the central coast, they were from Terrigal, The Entrance, East Gosford, Gosford and West Gosford Probus Clubs, they introduced themselves and told of their various experiences in club activities, after questions, a morning tea was served by Irene Dunlop and Jean Johnson.

Upon resumption of the meeting it was moved and seconded that a Probus club be formed. It was to be known as "The Probus Club of Kincumber", nominations were then called for the various offices. The following members were elected to these positions

Alan Lucre = President

Vice President Tom Barnett

Fees were set at $2.00 nomination fee and $5.00 per annum with meetings to be held on

the fourth Tuesday of the month at 10am in the club rooms of Avoca Beach Bowling Club.

President Allan then thanked those present and after presenting Probus badges to the 27

nominees, declared the inaugural meeting closed.

Thus the Kincumber probus club was formed, it being the sixth club in operation in the

Central Coast District.

The club went on hand over fist, gaining new members at a surprising rate, so much so

that, even though our membership had grown and was limited to 70, an extensive

waiting list had built up, a new club was formed known as Avoca Beach Probus Club
