We’re part of a family of like-minded organisations
Fellowship
We can help you enjoy meaningful connections with your fellow members who come from all walks of life in and around the Scarborough area.
Fun
We meet together once a month – usually on the third Thursday of each month – except in the Summer. These meetings are planned by our Catering Officer and include a meal.
Festivity
Social events include Christmas get-togethers, Spring or Summer BBQs or a more formal Burns’ Night – with piper and haggis (and whisky).
National
With 650 Clubs in the UK, you are assured of a warm welcome should you be visiting on business or on holiday.
International
There is an active international component to 41 Club, with regular meetings and international youth exchanges for family members.
What do we do?
We meet once a month (except in the summer months) plus we enjoy a a range of other activities
Monthly Meetings
A meal, a talk or a visit
We do not have a fixed venue, so we can enjoy a wide range of Scarborough cuisine, often combined with a guest speaker or on a visit to a local place of interest.
Charity Fundraising
Giving back to our community
Each year our incoming Chairman nominates the local charities to benefit from our fundraising. In addition to other activities, we often have a fund-raising dinner with guests, music and dancing.
Other Events
What will our Sports Officer suggest this year?
Maybe you like archery? Or lunch and a match at Scarborough RUFC (watching, not playing)? The ancient game of Quoits, Yorkshire style? Football golf? Walking rugby? All ideas welcome.
Hear from our members
Scarborough 41 Club was formed in 1957 and has enriched the lives of many Scarborians ever since. We will soon celebrate our 70th birthday.
There 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. I am glad I joined – life wouldn’t have been the same without it.
Simon Lockley
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? You will be made very welcome.
Mike Shingler
I have been involved in team sports all my life as a player and I miss the camaraderie, bravado and mutual support from a variety of backgrounds and 41 Club fills that gap.
Richard Kirby
Keeping in touch with friends old and new, attending interesting monthly meetings and raising some money for good causes…….

Archery Competition
Archery is usually one of our summer activities, where we go to play Robin Hood with the professionals – Scarborough Archers.

A guided tour around Scarborough’s lifeboat station to get updated on their work. Plus fish and chips on Sandside afterwards.
