Glossop, Hyde & District Round Table
What is Round Table?
Firstly
forget any pre-conceived ideas you may have about Round Table. It
is fun, friendly and rewarding, just ask any Round Tabler and he will
tell you that the movement expands horizons and gives you a passport to
a world-wide fellowship.
Round Table is a social club with a conscience for men between the ages of 18 and 45.
Round Table is all about having fun, friendship and trying something
new and exciting. From sports to arts, behind the scenes tours,
speaker nights, international visits and also family social events,
Round Table prides itself on giving its members the chance to embrace
life to the full and put simply if it isn’t fun it isn’t done!
Members come from all walks of life and join for enjoyment and as way
of getting involved in the local community. Membership of Round
Table also has many benefits as it helps to create confidence and
character. It enables people to take part in debate, organising
functions, running meetings and events, improves the ability to speak
out in public and will build leadership skills. Being a member of
Round Table can help you enhance your personal strengths like no other

Round Table opens up wonderful opportunities to become more involved in
your local community and meet new friends from across the UK and the
world.
Helping others while having great fun and enjoying new experiences is
at the very heart of Round Table and Nationally raises millions of
pounds for worthy causes along the way.
