ROUND TABLE HISTORY – INTERNATIONAL

The first Round Table was formed in Norwich , England in 1927. The founder, Louis Marchesi, who felt a need, existed for a club where the young business men of the town could gather on a regular basis. At their meetings they could exchange ideas, learn from the experiences of their colleagues and play a collective part in the civic life of Norwich .
In a speech the founder, Louis Marchesi pointed out that there are things we must do, there are things we can do and there are things we should do. For this could only be achieved with young people. He realised, that this kind of change needs a new form of organisation – “Round Table”.
From a very early stage it was agreed that Round Table would be a non-religious, non-political club and this has continued to this day.
Today there are about 1,000 Tables in 70 countries with a membership of around 44,000. Round Table now flourishes in European, throughout Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Hong Kong , New Zealand and Americas .
