Interested in membership? Welcome! 

This page explains the membership process.
When you make contact we will endeavour to meet up with you on a one-to-one basis for a drink one lunchtime or evening so that we can answer any questions you have and explain a bit more about the club. The aim of this is just to ensure that when you attend your first meeting there is someone you already know and who has already met you. You would then attend our meetings for a few months (typically say 6 meetings over 3-months) as a guest to enable you to get to know the club and to decide whether you wish to join. When you are happy to make that commitment let us know and we will propose you for membership.
 
As a member we would expect you to attend 60% of the club's normal twice-monthly meetings. The club does not meet in August so there would be 22 normal meetings in a year (including the AGM which all members are expected to attend), so you would be expected to attend 14 of these meetings - just over 1 a month. We know that people have busy lives and that work and personal commitments can frequently intrude - not least due to travel -  however this is a guideline. The simple truth is that the more you put in the more you will get out.
 
If you do not find this too onerous just e-mail us by clicking here with your name, age, address, occupation and contact numbers and we will seek to arrange the first step of the lunchtime or evening drink.  
 
You will have already read this but here's a recap.
City of London Round Table normally meets on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month, at 5:45pm for 6pm to 9:00pm. Our normal venue is The Counting House, 50 Cornhill, London EC3V 3PD.

City of London Round Table is the premier club for professional men aged 18-45 years. It enables you to take part in new, interesting and worthwhile activities. It has a sense of tradition, founded in 1928 and re-chartered in 2004, as the 13th Member Club of the National Association of Round Tables of Britain and Ireland (RTBI).

City of London Round Table (and its sister club, City of London Ladies Circle) is all about having fun with a group of friends while at the same time trying to help the community. City of London Round Table is active locally, at a regional level as part of Round Table Area 26 – Thames South East (which covers south east London & Kent), nationally and internationally.

In Round Table we don't just sit there!

In City of London we are very much into the social side of Tabling, although we also take an active part in community events and fund-raising.

During the past 12 months there have been opportunities to try new and exotic (for some!) sports such as Scuba Diving.

We have visited Holland for the 13 Clubs' Euro meeting and plan to visit Finland for the same event in 2005.

Other activities include New Boys' Mystery Night, Curries, Black-tie dinners and balls, Concerts, family events, Treasure Hunts, Beers, Beers and more Beers.

Join us
We have a varied and interesting program including family events and those that might appeal more to bachelors (or to family men with very understanding / uncaring / unknowing partners - delete as applicable :) ).

We always welcome those interested in joining Round Table, or visitors from other Tables, so e-mail us by clicking here and come along and see us soon.  

City of London Round Table supports, amongst others, the following charitable causes: Cancer Research UK, The Anthony Nolan Trust and Round Table Childrens Wish.

Sounds interesting, but what is Round Table?
Round Table is non-partisan, non-sectarian club for professional men aged 18-45. There are separate affiliated clubs for women called Ladies Circle and for people over 45 - for past Tablers - 41Club called the London Old Tablers Society or LOTS and for Circlers - Tangent.

The emphasis is on Fun, Friendship, and Fundraising - our community spirit and activities that benefit the wider community, particularly those who are less fortunate or who are not in a position to help themselves. It is this which distinguishes us from just being a get-together with your mates down a pub.

The National Patron of Round Table is HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, KG, KT.

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 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 over 10,000 members in Great Briatin and Ireland 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.

We are not staid. We don't just sit there. Do you?
