Sheffield Park Black History and Cultural Museum Walking Tour (July 25, 2026)

Sat, 25 Jul 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Our PROBUS Club has arranged another private visit to The Sheffield Park Black History and Cultural Museum.

Don't miss out on this trip back in time, to learn about the history of the black pioneers and settlers in Simcoe and Grey County!

This is a self-guided tour. We will break into small groups to walk through the main exhibit and the rest of the grounds. If you prefer not to go inside, there is plenty to see as you walk around the property. Many of the collections in the various outbuildings can be seen from the outside.

The two main buildings are wheelchair and walker accessible. The grounds are not paved, but they are grassed and graded. Let us know, if you require any assistance.

Lawn Bowling & BBQ 2026 (August 07, 2026)

Fri, 07 Aug 2026 19:00:00 GMT

We're going lawn bowling again in Meaford! We've organized a lawn bowling event for the past 3 years, and it's really a lot of fun!

Lawn bowling is a low-impact exercise that includes walking, bending and stretching—suitable for all fitness levels. No prior experience is needed! We will be given a 10-minute lesson in the basics of the game, and then be divided into teams to play, with volunteers from the Club helping us.

The only specific dress requirement is flat, soft-soled shoes, with no open heels or toes (in case you drop a ball!) and no spikes or cleats. We also highly recommend wearing a wide-brimmed hat and applying sunscreen, as there’s no shade on the lawn.

The BBQ following the bowling will consist of sausages or hamburgers (you will be asked to indicate your choice when you register), and salads, a variety of cold non-alcoholic drinks, tea, coffee, and dessert.

Unfortunately, the Meaford Lawn Bowling Club sustained some damage to the playing area with last winter's ice. As a result, we cannot use the entire playing surface, so are limited to 32 participants

General Information:

Date: Friday August 7, 2025 (rain date August 8th)
Location:
Meaford Lawn Bowling Club
19 Sykes St S, Meaford

Cost:
$38.00 per person

Refund Policy: As with past years, refunds will not be given. If you need to cancel before the event—and if there is a waiting list—we will put you in contact with waitlisted members to help you resell your ticket. But there is no guarantee that tickets can be resold.
