NEWENT & DISTRICT PROBUS CLUB 
Did you know that when Thomas Telford completed the Menai Suspension bridge to Anglesey in 1826 it was the longest suspension bridge in the world, and his Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, completed in 1805, is still the highest canal aqueduct in the world.
  Club members learnt these and many other interesting facts from two of our recent speakers’ talks. Topics for talks planned for the next three months include: Cold War Spies, The Knights Templars, Vintage Vehicles, WW1 Military Discipline, and Yuri Gagarin.
If you are a retired or semi-retired professional businessman looking for something new to do in 2025, then why not consider joining us at the Newent and District Probus Club to listen to one of these talks. We meet on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 10am in the Village Hall, Gorsley, for tea and coffee, followed by a talk from a guest speaker.
