A top organisation for men has issued a surprising call for men to be brave and ignore the clamour for them to make some form of New Year Resolution or an other and to just say no!
In fact, Round Table is offering a place of sanctuary to men who don’t want to make a pledge to go on a diet, swear off alcohol or to join a gym.
Round Table, which has a staggering 400 clubs across the United Kingdom and Ireland for men who range in ages from aged 18-45, is promising to remain a resolution free zone and it's actively encouraging men to seek refuge in their local club.
The ringing in of the ‘New Year’ provides a chance to look at life and make changes.
But with nearly 80% of men and women failing to stick to their resolutions, Round Table is throwing open its doors to men who want to do more, but who do not want to risk stigmatising themselves as failures.
Steve Glaister, the president of Round Table Britain & Ireland, told That's Christmas: “New Year is about celebration and making the most of life…not a punishment pledge to radically alter our lifestyle.
“The high failure rates show resolutions are futile. This is why we believe they should be abolished. Why feel a failure for not keeping to a resolution?
“As a result, Round Table pledges to remain a New Year Resolution free zone, offering a safe haven for those wanting to celebrate life, to do more and feel a success.
“This is a chance for men from all walks of life to try something new. There are no strings attached. I urge men to discover a world of new activities and new skills.”
Round Table is offering men in the 18-45 age bracket a free night out with their nearest club in January 2015, with no resolution needed.

Christmas misery for thousands as City Link Parcels goes into administration
There is misery this Christmas for thousands of employees of City Link Parcels and for some customers who might not have received Christmas deliveries that they were expecting.
It is rumoured that some staff are owed wages. Staff members were only told that they had lost their jobs on Christmas Eve.
It is understood that some undelivered parcels that are in the City Link system will be returned to the sender. Or that people expecting parcels might be able to collect them from a City Link depot.
The story is covered by the BBC at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-30602326
and by the Financial Times at http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/572c548e-8c7c-11e4-ad27-00144feabdc0.html#axzz3MxcgPzJK

Give back some Heart this Christmas with your unwanted Christmas gifts
Up to n64% of people said they receive two unwanted Christmas presents every year.
With the average price per Christmas gift at £21.75 (2), over £2.7 billion pounds worth of unwanted presents could be donated to charity this year.
BHF shops accept all of your unwanted gifts, everything from candles, Christmas jumpers, socks, games, handbags, books, DVDs and other items you no longer want.
BHF Deputy Retail Director, Diane Locke, told That's Christmas: "It’s incredible there’s £2.7 billion worth of unwanted Christmas gifts in the UK this year. Every year people receive presents that are just not to their taste, are the wrong size, or even two of the same gift.
“These unwanted presents can make an extraordinary difference to BHF shops. We’re encouraging people to donate their unwanted gifts and help raise vital funds in the fight against heart disease.”
For more information on BHF shops and to locate your nearest shop visit: www.bhf.org.uk or call 0844 412 5000.
