Probus Club of the Peninsula members enjoy a day outing
by Probus Club of Peninsula | 27 May 2015
This was an outstanding trip involving Probus members from the Bellarine Peninsula.
Another successful trip organised by our Trip & Tour Organiser. It was as usual as smooth as ever. It started with our departure from the Drysdale Football Club right on time at 8.30 am on the Christian Buses Line, full house with 57 members consisting of our own Probus , Drysdale Ladies and Bayview Probus from Portarlington.
We headed towards the ring road which took us all the way to Watsonia, the home of the Defence Force School Of Music. Upon arrival we all settled for a cup of coffee or tea, then we all gathered with other groups to be entertained by these very talented musicians.
They consisted of 31 members of which 6 where females from different forces. The interesting part was every part they played was conducted by a different conductor each time.They played an assortment of numbers of which some where war songs. A tremendous applause each time they finished a part by the full house audience. The concert finished with a most enjoyable Medley of more war familiar songs with the whole audience participating. Songs There’s a long , long trail a winding, Pack up your troubles, It’s a long way to Tipperary, Underneath the lantern,Bless em all, bless em all, Kiss me good night Sergeant Major, and Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong.
After the concert we went to the Watsonia R.S.L. for an enjoyable two course meal.Everyone seemed happy to be part of such a good day.
3pm we all got on the coach for our journey back to Drysdale arriving at 4.30pm.
All in all a very enjoyable day out with our Probian friends. An interesting point about these mixed Probus trips is the fact that one gets a good chance to meet other members from other clubs.
p.s. The Defence Department must be so proud of these young and not so young musicians.
