Popped into a service station on the M5 this morning and saw a sign promoting the Round Table. Need to be under 45. Now that HAS depressed me.

You're not really missing anything, i seem to remember my father and other members being boring drunks who occasionally raised money for charity to justify it all. Think of The Masons without the funny handshake or excitement ;)
 
My father is the youngest Rotarian at his branch. At a mere 73 he is bored out of his brain.

Any thought of joining the Round Table is clearly too late for me too. I am inconsolable!
 
Try the RAOB, ragged a$$ed old barstewards:D Or Royal Antideluvian Order of Buffaloes
 
Is that legal?

It's a strange area age discrimination and one SWMBO has a lot of involvement with.They never went through with the legislation that would have affected private clubs, organisations and institutions. The following was a quote from the Home Office last time the issue came up.

"Taking forward an age discrimination ban would
require secondary legislation to be made, setting
out the circumstances in which it would remain
lawful to use age as a reason for treating people
differently"
 
Look on the bright side.

Michael Parkinson will soon be able to send you a free Parker pen for applying to an insurance company that specialises in over-50s.

Ahem......... not all Rotary Clubs are the same you know............!

I am 40, been in Rotary for 3 years now, and I NOT the youngest at all.

Its not old men sitting around waiting to die, we do actually do some good you know!
 
If there is anything I don't ever want it is anything SAGA related... Sorry but when this **** comes through the door I lob it in the bin .. I have no desire to go on a bus trip or a cruise with a bunch of old farts ... Just put me in the box and nail the lid shut when I get to that stage ..or as I to.d my sons "when it comes time you need to wipe my **** just take me down to beachy head in my wheelchair and let the brake off" ....
 
Used to be 40 for the round table but due to declining membership age was increased to 45
