Probus Club participants at Belmont Information Day

South East Qld PSPL and PAQ Information Days

The first Information Days for 2026 were held at Belmont Services club on 13th April, and North Lakes Hotel on 14th April. These were club-focussed information and networking days conducted by Monika Prasad (Head of Marketing and Engagement for PSPL) with assistance from PAQ Management Committee members.

The format for the days changed from training days held previously to one where attendees were given a picture of a fruit and assigned to tables with this fruit symbol. This enabled the group of similar management committee functionaries so that the Presidents were seated with Presidents, Secretaries with Secretaries etc. Fruit symbols were Apple, Banana, Pear, Strawberry, Grapes. Presidents being represented by apples - of course.

Belmont Service Club had 27 clubs represented with 74 attendees, including presenters and helpers, while North Lakes had 43 attendees, representing 16 clubs. There was a wide catchment area with members travelling from Toowoomba, Kingaroy, Nambour, and two members from our new Boonah Probus Club. Attendees at both days were very positive about the information shared both from the presentations, but also the interchange of information within the groups.
