The focal point of Round Table is its regular meetings. Normally twice a month, usually in the evening and sometimes with a meal they are chaired by one Tabler for the year.
The regular meeting is the forum for speakers and many other forms of activity and entertainment. This can vary from a meeting on a Russian submarine to a meeting in a hot air balloon, or it may be just a meal and include discussions on forthcoming social and service projects. Have a look at the Events Diary to see what is on around the country.
Visitors and potential members will always be made particularly welcome as Round Table provides an ideal opportunity to establish new friendships.
Round Table is all about having fun with a group of friends while at the same time trying to help the local community.
Round Table started with just one man's idea. Louis Marchesi was a member of Rotary in Norwich (UK) but had the brainwave of starting a new organisation for young men between the ages of 18-45 (Malta is 18 to 40 years).
Round Table was born with the motto 'Adopt, Adapt, Improve' and from small beginnings of one club in Norwich, Louis' dream has become a reality, with over 1,000 clubs and 13,000 members in the UK alone.
Round Tables operate individually but with a common cause, and together they form The National Association of Round Tables of Great Britain and Ireland. But that's not all.. Round Table exists throughout the world and has links with like-minded clubs internationally.
The sky is literally the limit when it comes to the numerous activities that Tablers find to take part in:
In fact, the only limit is your enthusiasm, so if there's something that you've always wanted to do then Round Table is the ideal chance for you to have a go.
The main aim of Round Table is FELLOWSHIP and FUN and meeting people from all walks of life, however, Round Table is also well known for organising novel fund-raising events which form an important part of its activities.
With an emphasis on local and practical help, service within the community must be fun whether it is organising Christmas collections or outings for disabled children or the elderly.
Social events and outings are a frequent and popular way of bringing Table members and their families together. These are organised at both a local and national level and could be anything from Go-Karting to Ten Pin Bowling, Quasar, Paint Ball, Sailing, Camping, Abseiling, Treasure Hunts, Quiz Nights ..... the list is endless!
NO. One of the main reasons to get together is to meet like-minded people, make new friends and have fellowship and fun.
Because it is a thoroughly entertaining and personally rewarding hobby that brings you into contact with many like-minded individual.
It is not difficult or expensive to join, although we expect those who join to actively participate. Most clubs meet twice a month, sometimes over a meal.

"In my opinion, International Tabling is without doubt the best part of the Round Table movement. In what other circumstances would you get on a plane, be met by complete strangers at the destination airport and within a couple of hours, those strangers will be friends for life. Round Table offers you the opportunity to travel and visit tables in countries as far flung as New Zealand, Brazil and Nepal, offering you an insight into the way people live in those countries and hospitality you would find hard to better anywhere." ---Jim Conway, International Officer, 2000-2001
