:: Round Table SriLanka ::

Round Table is all about having fun with a group of like minded 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 but had the brainwave of starting a new organisation for young men between the ages of 18-40.

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 3,000 clubs Worldwide and over 300,000 members.

For example Round Tables operate individually but with a common cause, and together they form Round Table International. But that's not all.. Round Table exists throughout the world and has links with like-minded clubs internationally.

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 or Business Meeting is the forum for speakers and many other forms of activity and entertainment or it may be just a meal and include discussions on forthcoming social and service projects.

The second meeting for the month is a Dinner Meeting hosted in turn by every tabler each month when Tablers attend with wives and children.

Visitors and potential members will always be made particularly welcome as Round Table provides an ideal opportunity to establish new friendships.

The sky is literally the limit when it comes to the numerous activities that Tablers find to take part in:

Barbeque Parties, Beach Outings, Sailing, Travelling around your country, 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. That's why our unofficial motto is:

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 Dinner Parties, Weekend Outings, Go-Karting, Sailing, Camping, Treasure Hunts, Quiz Nights ..... the list is endless!

Inter-Table and regional Sporting Competitions play an important part in the Round Table calendar and culminate in the National Sporting Weekend.

The main aim of Round Table is FUN and meeting people form 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 car parking at local carnivals, organising Christmas collections or outings for disables children or the elderly.
