Forthcoming Club Meetings

Coffee Mornings at The Links Golf Club

2026

4th & 18th August

On Thursday evening committee members and their partners enjoyed a meal at Archers, the restaurant attached to Bridlington College.

A super three course meal was cooked and served by college students who all did a terrific job including manning the bar.

All who attended enjoyed the food, wine and the attention from the very enthusiastic "staff". The variable menu was very reasonably priced and given sufficient notice we can arrange an individual menu for our events.

Since the closure of the Expanse hotel we have been looking at possible alternatives for our events throughout the year and we are sure that Archers will meet with the approval of members and guests.

Chris has circulated this information to members by email but I thought it would be helpful if we featured it on our website.Looks like a great series of days out for all those interested in classic cars of all types.

The U3A Event

The Annual U3A Event was held at The Spa on Monday.

Our stand was manned by Chris Langley, Jim Hornsby, John Ford and Mike Gold.

Visitors showed considerable interest in our club and we hope that it will produce some new members.

We had a chance to chat with the Mayor of Bridlington, Counc. Angela Walker who kindly agreed to pose for some photographs.

Burlington Probus AGM

Burlington Probus held its annual general meeting yesterday. A minutes silence was held in memory of two members who had passed away during the year.

The Chairman and committee would like to thank all those who attended.

He also thanked the other members of the committee for their hard work and support during his year in the chair

The principal officers tended their respective reports and these are now available to view on the "Members" page of this website.

The meeting unanimously elected Jim Hornsby as the Chairman for 2026/7.

No Vice Chairman has yet been appointed

The remaining officers confirmed their willingness to continue in their respective roles. There were no challenges. and therefore the committee remains unchanged.

A number of matter were discussed and are reflected in the official minutes which are also on the "members" page.

The Chairman handed the chain of office to Jim Hornsby who received a round of applause.

Annual Charity Fund Presentation 2026.

Chairman Jim and Secretary Chris had the pleasant task of presenting the Club’s latest collection effort to The Bridlington Crew of the RNLI at the Lifeboat Station.

They were made very welcome to the Station by Volunteer Bob Taylor and given a brief history of the Boat. The cheque was handed to Bob who stressed the importance of every penny raised to their efforts.

The collection is the result of members giving up their loose change at every Club Meeting and Committee Meetings. This year’s effort raised £250.

Dinner with Burlington Probus

Members and their better halves enjoyed an evening meal at the Sefton Hotel in Bridlington on Tuesday night.

The event was well attended and enjoyed by all there.

The chairman thanked Chris Fairweather for arranging the meal which we hope will be the forerunner for many more similar events.

Peter Horobin

Members will be very saddened to hear of the passing of Peter Horobin. Peter had been very poorly recently and was recently admitted to Scarborough hospital and subsequently transferred to the White Rose Nursing Home.

Peter was 88 years old when he passed at 7.20pm yesterday (Monday 6th July) having been visited earlier in the day by Chris Langley.

Peter served as chairman of Burlington Probus for several years and was a regular at almost every event. He also was responsible for organising the club lunches at the now defunct Expanse Hotel.

He will be sadly missed by all members. RIP
