Beaver Valley PROBUS Club upcoming events

Singhampton Sculpture Forest (Wire Bird Making) (August 27, 2026)

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Our PROBUS Club has arranged a new event at the Singhampton Sculpture Forest.

You will work with an artist on-site to create a wire sculpture bird, which will be mounted on a rock and perfect to take home to your garden.

After, take a self-guided walk through a serene three-acre estate of gardens and forest with large, eclectic art installations, studios and more.

You are welcome to bring your own picnic lunch and enjoy it in the gardens.

We would suggest a hat and bug spray for the gardens and forest.

Unfortunately, this location is not accessible for those with mobility concerns.

We are limited to 12 registrants for the sculpture making, so please sign up quickly to avoid disappointment. You are welcome to come just for the garden and forest walk.

PLEASE NOTE: Registration is only required if you plan to make a sculpture. Please do NOT register if you are only interested in the garden and forest walk. (Donations are appreciated on-site in this case)

Barn Dance and Dinner (September 13, 2026)

Sun, 13 Sep 2026 20:30:00 GMT

Last year's event was so much fun, we are doing it again! Please join us for a good old fashioned BARN DANCE, with dinner beforehand.

Come and try out your square dancing skills—no experience needed! We’ll have a live band and a caller to teach us the steps, so everyone can join in. It promises to be a lot of fun! Please note that this is square dancing, and not line dancing.

Even if you’re not sure you’ll want to dance, we’d love for you to join us for the dinner, great company, and some toe-tapping music. You might just surprise yourself and end up on the dance floor anyway!

Before the dance, we will have a dinner catered by Christina Sheardown. You can bring your own wine or beer (there will be no alcohol sales).

If you have any food allergies or significant intolerances, please indicate when you register, prior to paying for the event, so that we can check with the caterer to be sure they can accommodate your needs.

The cost is based on our having 80 attendees, so we need that many to make this event viable. For now, we’re asking you to register if you plan to come, but please note you’ll be placed on a waiting list.

Once we're sure we have enough interest, you’ll be moved from the waitlist to the registration list and receive a second email requesting the online payment.

This year we are going to the Meaford International Film Festival, and hope that you can join us.

Based on true events and laced with wry humour, Still Mine is a heartfelt love story about an 89-year-old New Brunswicker who comes up against the system when he sets out to build a more suitable house for his wife.

We will have an optional pre show brunch at The Eggcitement Bistro, at 11:30. Please indicate when you register if you will be coming for the brunch as well, so that we can make the appropriate reservation. The cost of brunch is extra, paid at the time, and is NOT included in the registration fee.

Payment: Payment is online only. Member couples may register and pay together if they wish. If you need any assistance with the online payment, please call us—we can even take your credit card details over the phone!

Refund Policy: As with past events, refunds will not be given for any reason

This event is for PROBUS members only!
