Although Probus was originally established in 1966 to promote fellowship amongst businessmen in the UK, the movement spread progressively to other countries: New Zealand in 1974, Australia in 1976 and Canada in 1987.

Today, Probus clubs exist in most parts of the World, including Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden in Europe, and in Canada, the USA and India, plus several countries in Africa and Asia. 

Probus membership now exceeds 300,000, with 4500 clubs worldwide.

Probus Global was established in 2018 to encourage international friendships online and promote international discussion and sharing of interests.  Probus Global currently has over 1300 members in 20 countries.

So if you are a Probus member and would like to make friends and have interesting conversations with English speaking Probians abroad without leaving home, or are planning a trip abroad and would appreciate expert local advice on where to go and stay, consider joining Probus Global.
