Internationally acclaimed, local author, Peter Watt, was the guest speaker at our September meeting. 

Peter spoke about his experiences with the army, police force, deckhand and private investigator (among others) as well as his present activities as an author.

Peter has had 22 novels published so far. He writes historical novels about actual events with characters, who may be fictional or partly real. His first novel was “Cry of the Curlew”, which was the first book in his “Frontier Series” of 12 titles.

After entertaining the members for an hour, Peter spent more time chatting and personally inscribing books. He generously gave three autographed books as a lucky door prize, which was won by Cathy Wood.

October 1 was Probus Day across Australia. Our club manned a stand at Grafton Shoppingworld, where people were able to find out more about our club, which offers friendship, fellowship and fun for retirees. We had 10 activities in the last month, one of which was a combined activity with Maclean Probus Club.

Twenty-four members had lunch together at the Brushgrove Hotel and swapped ideas about future activities.

Information about our club can be obtained from Paula on 0439 325 856 or Maureen on 6644 7302.
