Who We Are
Round Table Robertson 115 is a proud member of the Association of Round Tables of Southern Africa (ARTSA) and Round Table Western Province (RTWP). We are a voluntary, non-political, non-sectarian organisation of young men aged 18 to 40 who are passionate about making a difference in the Robertson Valley.
Round Table was founded in 1927 in Norwich, England, inspired by the ideals of King Arthur's legendary round table where no one person is more important than another. Today, Round Table has grown into a worldwide movement with members across more than 60 countries.
Our main aim is to enjoy fellowship with people from all walks of life, while organising fundraising events and community activities. We hold monthly business and social meetings to plan projects and strengthen bonds among our members.
Our Mission & Values
Guided by principle, driven by purpose, united in service to our community.
Community Service
We dedicate our time and resources to welfare projects that uplift and support the Robertson community, including school improvement programmes and community feeding initiatives.
Fellowship
Building lasting friendships through shared experiences, social events, braais, and inter-table visits with fellow Tablers across Southern Africa.
Self-Improvement
Developing public speaking, leadership, project management, and meeting procedure skills through active participation and responsibility.
Adopt, Adapt, Improve
Our motto drives us to embrace new ideas, adapt to changing needs, and continuously improve ourselves and our community.
What We Do
From fundraising to feeding the community, we're hands-on in everything we do.
Fundraising Events
We organise a variety of fundraising events throughout the year, including our annual charity golf day, gala dinners, fun runs, and braai evenings. All proceeds go directly towards community projects and charitable causes in the Robertson area.
Community Projects
From school renovations and library projects to community clean-ups, we roll up our sleeves and get involved. Our members volunteer their time and skills to projects that make a tangible difference in the lives of Robertson residents.
Fellowship & Social
Fellowship is at the heart of what we do. Regular braais, wine route evenings, potjie competitions, and inter-table visits keep our bonds strong. We hold business meetings on the 1st Tuesday and social meetings on the 3rd Tuesday of each month.
The Round Table Story
From a single table in England to a global movement spanning over 60 countries.
The Beginning
Round Table was founded on 14 March 1927 in Norwich, England by Louis Marchesi, a young Rotarian who believed young men needed their own platform for fellowship and community service. Inspired by King Arthur's round table — where no one sits at the head — the movement was built on equality and camaraderie.
Round Table Comes to South Africa
The first Round Table in South Africa was chartered in Cape Town. The movement quickly gained momentum among young professional men who shared a passion for service and fellowship in the post-war era.
ARTSA is Formed
The Association of Round Tables of Southern Africa (ARTSA) was officially established, uniting tables across South Africa, Namibia, and Lesotho under one national body. Today, ARTSA comprises over 230 tables with approximately 1,000 active members.
Robertson 115 is Chartered
Round Table Robertson 115 was officially chartered as part of Round Table Western Province (RTWP), bringing the spirit of fellowship and community service to the heart of the Breede River Valley. Since then, our table has grown from a handful of founding members into an active force for good in Robertson.
Growing Stronger
With 20 active members and a packed calendar of fundraisers, community projects, and social events, Round Table Robertson 115 continues to grow and make a real difference in the Robertson community. Our motto, "Adopt, Adapt, Improve," drives everything we do.
Part of Something Bigger
Round Table Robertson 115 is a proud member of ARTSA (Association of Round Tables of Southern Africa) and RTWP (Round Table Western Province). ARTSA connects Round Table chapters across Southern Africa — including South Africa, Namibia, and Lesotho — fostering collaboration and shared purpose.
Through our affiliation, we connect with fellow Tablers from across Southern Africa and internationally through Round Table International (RTI), sharing ideas, resources, and the spirit of service that unites us all.
