| Who
joins and why? |
|
The members of Round Table come from all walks of life and join
for a variety of reasons - perhaps as a gateway to relaxation and to
enjoyment, or as a way of participating in the local community. It
is, of course, an ideal way for those who have moved into a new area
to find new friends of a similar age.
Membership of Round Table helps to create confidence and
character. The individual learns quickly to mix and 'have-a-go' at
helping to organise and run meetings and events. The organisation is
run by and for Tablers as a hobby.
|
| How do I
become a member? |
|
After attending as a guest for a time, potential members are invited
to join. There are no barriers regarding one's political, religious,
occupational or marital status and the only qualification
is to be male, over 18 and under 45.
|
| What about
the costs and commitment involved? |
All members of Poynton Round Table pay
a monthly subscription, this subscription is used solely for
our twice a month social events, these event range from Meals
to Go-Karting, Comedy Nights, Beer Festevals, Rafting, Gliding
etc. Poynton Round Table uses an apology system, this way if
you are unable to attend an event you will not have to pay.
As with any hobby the more you put in, the more you get out.
This is the challenge of Poynton Round Table.
|
| What if I
move to another part of the country? |
This is where being a member of Round Table
really pays off. If you move elsewhere there will be a Round
Table Club close by. Once a member of Round Table always a member.
If you find yourself in an unfamiliar village, town, city or
country then there will be a group of friends waiting to welcome
you.. all you have to do is phone them and say that you've moved
in. You then simply transfer from your old Table/Circle to the
new one.
If you travel on business and find yourself staying in various
parts of the country, again all Round Tables welcome guests
from other tables, this way you can quickly get used to the
local area and gives other Rounds Tables an opportunity to share
ideas.
|
| How do I
find out more? |
|
You can attend any meetings or events as a visitor without obligation
or commitment.
