Probus Speaker – Brian Colegate on Retirement Villiages
Just a reminder that Tawa Probus is back in action after a couple months break while COVID passed through Tawa. Visitors and perspective new members are very welcome.
This Monday 16th May, we meet again as normal at the Tawa Bowling Club, Davies Street, 9.30am.
We will be having our delayed brief AGM and then a speaker Brian Colegate. Brian is a resident in a Paraparaumu retirement village and has recently published a book on retirement villages titled – "Retirement Villages - Residents Verdict". Over the last decade we have seen an explosive growth in retirement villages and at some stage most older people may consider the prospect of moving into a village. Brian will present an unbiased view of the pros and cons of retirement village life and discuss some of the widely reported issues around the retirement village model.

Can you crack Today’s neighbourhood conundrum?
Without a bridle or a saddle, across a thing, I ride a-straddle. And those I ride, by help of me, though almost blind, are made to see. What am I?
