The members of the Germiston Probus Club held their May meeting, recently, at the Germiston\/Delville Bowling Club.<\/p>\n

The meeting kicked-off with the club’s normal activities, namely their financial status and congratulations to members celebrating wedding anniversaries and birthdays.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

They were then given a talk by Alan Gailey, a new member of the club.<\/p>\n

Gailey chatted to them about his great passion — d\u00e9coupage — and how he has made a number of interesting items, including a clock for the late Nelson Mandela.<\/p>

“There is so much you can do with d\u00e9coupage and I am willing to teach any members who want to learn,” he said.<\/p>\n

Alan Gailey was the speaker on the day. He spoke to the members about d\u00e9coupage and his other business interests.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He also told the audience that, now that he has retired, he is busier than ever, as he has developed a foot file to be used in beauty salons, which has taken off.<\/p>\n

“I am now in talks with companies in the USA and we are going to start exporting the files,” he said.<\/p>\n

For the club’s monthly draw, Gailey donated a beautiful “Big Five” d\u00e9coupage clock, which was won by Henri Sam.<\/p>\n

The club meets every second Tuesday of the month, at the Germiston\/Delville Bowling Club, at 11am.<\/p>\n

The next meeting is scheduled for June 10 and any retired people are welcome to join them.<\/p>\n

The club is also in need of speakers, so if you would like to share something with the members you are welcome to do so.<\/p>\n
