Closed Organisations
The SAcommunity team had an opportunity to speak to former Probus Club of Gawler Para secretary of 14 years Barry Matthias.
The social and activity group, closed last year after over 30 years of operation, having hosted a range of interesting guest speakers over the years, including such groups as the Queen Adelaide Society which kept minds active and retired people connected.
We would like to acknowledge this service to the community and are glad to find that Mr Matthias and other former members have now moved to the Probus Club of Gawler, bringing their continued interest and experience.
