About Round Table

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 10,000 members.

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.

Round Tables are organised into Areas which organise larger scale events such as sports competitions and social events such as Casino,  Boxing nights  and Family Fun Days.  Ongar Round Table is in Area 33 which covers most of Essex. 

A highlight of the Round Table calendar is the National Conference and AGM, which takes place in May each year.   Aside from the serious business of debating and voting on proposals and electing new National Officers, there's a wealth of social activities over the three days including some great entertainment with some top rock and pop bands.   Here is a snap of three of our members enjoying themselves at one of the Conference parties :-
