What our members say

Each 41 Club is individual, some clubs prefer to just enjoy each other’s company over a delightful meal while others are involved in local projects, fund raising or supporting community agendas.  Many clubs have social events and other activities to enjoy, adding challenge, interest and pleasure to your time. Our range of clubs is vast with many to choose from.

41 Club at a national level offers the structure to allow all members to get involved in a range of activities at all levels while providing a focused approach to membership, allowing individuals to relax in pleasant company and/or develop new skills and respond to new challenges. There is an annual calendar of events that allows all members to pick and choose what they would like to be involved in, from organised walks to Classic Car Weekends, from Caravanning to 41 Club cruises and much more..

41 Club, with a membership of nearly 12,000 members in 650 clubs, has a focus to achieve a better world, helping communities to overcome local difficulties, shortages and individual needs.

You can help in your local area, working regionally with other clubs in the Association, nationally and internationally, especially when major incidents occur – look at our 41 International page to see how 41 Club is able to help those suffering from the war in Ukraine.

We believe in enjoying ourselves AND making a difference. Do you?

Why Join 41 Club? The are various key benefits that I have gained from being part of 41 Club. Top of the list has to be fellowship. I have formed close friendships with a wide range of fellow members and is there anything more important in life? In this modern world when many people seem to converse mainly via social media it’s refreshing to get out once a month and converse face to face. 

Next up is our annual charity event. Raising money for (usually local) charities whilst enjoying a great night out complete with dinner and entertainment is a whole lot more satisfying than vegetating in front of the TV. Glad I joined though – life wouldn’t have been the same without it. Simon Lockley – Vice Chair. 

From a personal point of view, I consider myself fortunate in joining Round Table in Scotland in my 20’s, having returned from Germany where, as an engineer, I worked for a US/German company in the nuclear power industry.

From my job in Scotland, where I was helping to build the Brent oil rig for the North Sea, I transferred with the company’s head office in Teesside, where I also transferred into Stokesley Round Table.

I finally ended up moving back to my hometown of Scarborough, where until I retired, I ran a couple of computer service companies. I transferred into Scarborough Round Table and later into Scarborough 41 Club.

So, in all my career movements both my wife and I have been able to settle into wherever we were with the help and friendships we made in Round Table and 41 Club. Indeed, the majority of our friends have come from these two fine organisations. 

Both Round Table and 41 Club are non-sectarian organisations who, among other things, help their local communities and charities. 

So, if you are a people-person who is looking to join like-minded men for fellowship and friendship, why not get in touch with us see for yourself if it would suit you?

A big welcome to you all from Scarborough 41 Club.  I have been a member now for over five years, having previously been a member of the Round Table. Please note that it is no longer a pre-requisite to joining our club to have been a Round Table member as our Club has become a more relaxed organisation.

Our new mantra is ‘fun, fellowship and festivity’, and I can say we do exactly what it says on the tin!

Personally, I have been involved in team sports all my life as a player and more recently as a coach and I miss the camaraderie, bravado and mutual support from a variety of backgrounds and 41 Club fills that gap. 

Whilst enjoying a plethora of events and activities befitting our ages, we all share a common goal of our mantra, whilst supporting local charities and causes.

Please apply and you will be most welcome to test the water at our monthly events, where you can hopefully decide that 41 Club is for you.
