Members of Scunthorpe Round Table have compiled a list of 40 things to do before they hit 40.

The challenges range from scuba diving and sky diving to brewing your own beer and becoming a blood donor.

Bob Riach, 56, president of Scunthorpe Round Table, has already completed 18 items on the list.

He said: "Being part of Round Table is all about meeting new friends, and doing activities that you've never done before.

"A few of our members have done some of the items on the list, and as a group we have test driven super cars and gone clay pigeon shooting.

"The social aspect is so popular amongst our members, and I can see them taking on these tasks with a real hunger to complete the list.

"So far I have done 18 of the things, like growing a moustache, eating a vindaloo and becoming a blood donor.

"If our members come to us with ideas they want to do from the list, we will do everything we can to get them organised quickly.

"One particular thing that I would like us to do is participate in an event to challenge a Guinness World Records Book title.

"I'm not sure what we could do, but it would definitely be a massive achievement.

"Many young people in Round Table will have done barely anything on this list, and having the opportunity to do these things will help mature them and give them some great life experiences.

"This list is a great advert for people wanting to join Round Table, especially since the Scunthorpe group is actively taking on new members.

"I'm sure we will have a lot of fun taking on the list."
