The club has been in Moss Vale and bringing retired men and women in the Highlands together for the last 33 years.
With monthly meetings on the first Thursday of the month at the Moss Vale Community Centre, members have organised a variety of outings.
They have celebrated Bastille Day in Darling Harbour, enjoyed Christmas in July, been to the Warragamba Dam and Parliament House, seen the new airport being built, and had different lunches and outings.
"It's for retired people who live in the area and want enjoyment and fellowship, and meet other people," Wingecarribee Probus club President David Wills said.
Probus is a worldwide movement that originated in the United Kingdom in the 1960s, where the first club was established by the Rotary Club of Caterham.
It has since expanded with the aims for retirees to bond with others, as well as be mentally engaged.
Five Rotarians in the Sydney area came together in 1981 to start the formation of Probus clubs, with the foundation of the Probus Information Centre - South Pacific in Parramatta.
Upcoming activities on the agenda for this Highlands club include lunches across NSW, a trip to the Hunter Valley and ten pin bowling.
"I've enjoyed the fellowship of friends and enjoying where we go and what we do," Mr Wills said.
General meetings are at 10am, followed by morning tea and then a guest speaker.
People are welcome to come along with ideas for activities.
To be a member, it is $40 per year, and five dollars as a one-off payment for a badge.
