December 11th Brockenhurst and District Probus Club
4oth Anniversary Celebrations and Christmas Event led by Chris Panayi
We have watched the professionals dance in our Strictly production and we have learned how to party and it is now time to look forward to our gala event on Thursday 11th December 2025 celebrating our 40th Anniversary combined with our annual christmas meal.
We will be at Enzees where we will take over the restaurant for the evening.
Doors will open at 18:45 when you will be welcomed with something cold and bubbly (or a lovely refreshing NoProsecco if you wish)
19:15 we will sit for our meal and we will be serenaded by beautiful soft saxophone music
21:00 The Hummingbirds will start their first set in the events room. Those who will prefer to remain in the restaurant area, will be magically entertained by a surprise star.
23:00 The Hummingbirds will end the night's entertainment and fly back to their nests and we can go home entertained, tired and happy.
All this for £50 per person for club members, partners and widows of members and
£60 per person for guests

Thursday 19th February 2026 Royal Signals Museum led by John Gribble
Date: Thursday 19th February 2026
Event: Visit to Royal Signals Museum Blandford Dorset
Organiser: John Gribble
Price: £15 per person
Details:
The visit will include a guide led tour followed by time to peruse exhibits at will.
Those coming on the visit the Royal Signals Museum will embark on a journey through the fascinating evolution of military communications. From the early days of semaphore and telegraph to the cutting-edge cyber technologies of today, the exhibits offer a comprehensive look at how communication has shaped military operations. We will be able to delve into the stories of innovation, bravery, and the relentless pursuit of excellence that define the Royal Signals. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply curious about the technological advancements in military communication, the museum provides a captivating experience for all ages.
Transport will be by car sharing. It is approximately a one hour drive from Brockenhurst to Blandford and we will aim to leave Brockenhurst at 09:00 to arrive by 10:15 and start the guided tour at 10:30. There is a cafe on site for drinks, sandwiches and snacks.
Cost will be in the order of £15 to cover entry and the guide. The list will have to close a few days before the visit as the museum needs a list of names and drivers in advance. If numbers go above 14 I will have to see if they can provide a second guide.
