A Taunton group of retired professional and businessmen has elected a new president, writes Phil Hill.

Simon Donell was chosen to lead Taunton Castle Probus Club at the organisation’s annual general meeting this month.

Mr Donell was handed the chain of office by outgoing president Stafford Taylor.

The club is non-political and members meet up on the third Wednesday of each month.

They enjoy a talk from an invited speaker, a two-course lunch, and coffee.

It also organises various visits and walks around the area.

Taunton Castle Probus Club always welcomes new members into its friendly and welcoming family.

Anyone who may be interested in a visit prior to joining should email club secretary Tim Allen at twallen@btopenworld.com for details.
