Old people shouldn't eat health foods - they need all the preservatives they can get.
This was one of the jokes shared at Mid-City Probus Club of Palmerston North's monthly meeting last week.
Jokes aside, the club is on the hunt for more members to add to the 74 it already has.
Probus clubs in New Zealand and Australia provide retirees with the opportunity to connect socially and Mid-City has been operating since 1995.
"We're a nice friendly club and it would be good to encourage a few more people to join," says Robyn Galpin, who is in charge of recruitment.
