Mansfield Woodhouse Probus Club held its latest regular meeting at the Hostess Restaurant .

Members and guests were welcomed on Thursday, February 2, by president Terry Ram.

The minutes of the last meeting were presented and approved after which reports were submitted by the Treasurer, the Almoner and the Attendance Officer.

Mr Ram again reminded members of the visit to Denby Pottery on April 26 and a potential visit to Bomber Command later in the year. He also announced the intention to hold a Race Night, subject to there being sufficient support.

Mansfield Woodhouse Probus Club is considering a trip to The International Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln.

Speaker John Hope was then introduced who gave an illustrated talk entitled If at first you don’t succeed.

John first highlighted how many famous and well known people over the ages had began their lives in a relatively mundane and unsuccessful career, only to become highly successful in a commpletely different field. He then went on to show how this had been the case during his own many and varied career choices.
