Round Table Achievements

Round Table is known for it’s efforts to assist in its own community and to help that community’s less fortunate members; for its concern for the quality of life and for the help it gives to various charitable causes; for its purchase of a life-boat and other equipment for the R.N.L.I; for its support of the Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust and for its assistance at Lockerbie and Dunblane. Community based activities at a local level include the organizing of events such as local fireworks evening and float collections at Chris tmas. These activities and many similar ones are not only great fun to organize but enable you to develop other skills which you may not use in your day to day work.

Another facet of Round Table, rarely acknowledged even by its members but of great importance to the individual, is the opportunity it provides for members to broaden their experience, to express themselves with clarity, to learn the art of leadership and to enhance their role as responsible citizens and to form lasting friendships.

Round Table International

Round Table exists in more than 40 countries and has as one of its aims “to further the establishment of peace and goodwill in international relationships”. As a result many Tables in this country have links or are “twinned” with overseas Tables with which exchange visits are arranged on a regular basis.

In addition Round Table supports a number of community service projects, particularly those in Africa and Asia , are supported by Tables in this country. Round Table has been instrumental in establishing clinics in Africa, refugee villages in Hong Kong and in the re-building of schools in India and Sri Lanka following the Tsunami.
