Peter Walker, a keen golfer and supporter of Watford Football Club, was voted to take over the reins for the forthcoming year.
An active member of Probus since 2016, Peter has often organised lunches and excursions to places of interest for members and their wives. He moved to Budleigh in 2015 after retiring as a company director in the dairy industry.
Budleigh Probus has temporarily suspended its twice-monthly meetings due to the pandemic but hopes to recommence activities after Christmas.
Meanwhile, members have kept in contact by phone and through a monthly newsletter laced with humorous stories.
