Ashtead and Leatherhead Probus is primarily a monthly luncheon club with no political or religious affiliation, attracting retired and semi-retired professional and business people from Ashtead, Leatherhead and their Surrey surroundings.
Albeit with longstanding traditions, the Club came into being only at the beginning of 2022, as a result of Ashtead Probus and Leatherhead Probus deciding to amalgamate. It is part of a worldwide network of Probus clubs, though each operates autonomously with its own rules, practices and procedures.
Our aim is to provide like-minded individuals with congenial company, a good lunch, interesting talks and the occasional visit to places or events of interest.
