A HUDDERSFIELD charity has urged men to join up and achieve their dreams.
Huddersfield Round Table this week released its list of 40 things every man should achieve by the time they’re 40.
Many of the items that made the list entail challenges that Round Tablers are doing all over the world on a weekly basis.
Round Table vice-president Jason Thomson said: “The aim of the list is to motivate men to get the most out of life.
“Everything on the list is achievable and indeed lots of our members have already accomplished many of the activities through their involvement with the Round Table.
“We wanted to ensure that men in Huddersfield continue to aim high and accomplish some amazing things in their lifetime.”
He added: “Almost every man out there will have already accomplished at least one of the things on the list – most of us have experimented with growing a moustache, for example – but for those remaining, Round Table is here to help.”
Established in 1934, Huddersfield Round Table is a social and fundraising organisation for young men aged 18 to 45.
The organisation holds fundraising events throughout the year for good causes.
