Who are you?
Beckenham Round Table is the 104th group of the National Association of Round Tables of Britain and Ireland. Beckenahm Round Table was founded in 1936 and this year celebrates its 70th birthday.
So what is Round Table?
Setup in 1927. by Louis Marchesi, a young Rotarian who felt a need existed for a club where the young men of the town could gather to exchange ideas, learn from new experiences and play a collective part in the civic life of Norwich. Within a year membership of this Round Table had grown to 85 and interest had been shown in establishing Round Tables elsewhere. Round Table is not just a local organisation they are groups all over the world.
Membership is open to men between the ages of 18 and 45 years irrespective of their religious beliefs or political opinions, the only restriction placed on the potential member is that he should either work or reside in the catchment area of the Table.
What sort of things do we get up to? We meet socially on the 1st, 3rd (and 5th) Tuesdays of each month. We like to spend time together doing anything from a simple game of darts to quad biking – trying things that you probably wouldn’t do on our own. We also ‘do our bit’ for our community through the Beckenham Round Table Charity Trust Fund. If you live in Beckenahm or the surrounding area you’ve probably been to the fireworks display in Beckenham, that’s our main fundrasing event.
I don’t live or work in Beckenham, can I still join? Of course! We have members from Sydenham, Crystal Palace, Penge, Bromley, Hayes, Sidcup and of course Beckenham.
I don't think I’d fit in.
Members, both past and present, come from all walks of life - bankers, builders, brokers, chefs, electricians, engineers, lawyers, plumbers, shop keepers. We just all have something in common - we all want to enjoy ourselves and do something for the communities in which we live.
OK, so how do I contact you?
