ABOUT US
The Club meets on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month at 10.00 in the Royal British Legion Club, Station Road, Ellon AB41 9AY. We welcome visitors from other clubs. The formation of a Probus Club in Ellon results from a meeting of like-minded retired gentlemen held on 17th August 1981. A subgroup comprising Alexander Wilson, John.
