Membership
There are no barriers to joining regarding one’s political, religious, occupational or marital status and the only qualification is to be male, over 18 and under 45.
The members of Round Table come from all walks of life and join for a variety of reasons; perhaps as a getaway from the stress of a busy life, or as a way of participating in the local community, or just to participate in social events. It is, of course, an ideal way for those who have moved into a new area to find new friends of a similar age.
Anyone considering becoming a member is welcome to come along to one of our monthly activities to meet the group without any pressure, commitment or cost.
