What's it all about?
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 18-45. 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. 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. Round Table is all about having fun with a group of friends while at the same time trying to help the local community.

Because it is a thoroughly entertaining and personally rewarding hobby that brings you into contact with many like-minded individuals. Q) What do I have to do to join?
