It is a long time since I have been invited to the re-chartering of a Round Table, but I joined with several members of the local 41 Clubs who had sponsored and supported the re-chartering of Bexley Round Table No 191 in South East London.
Over 100 enjpyed a memorable evening when 11 new members were inducted into Round Table by RTBI National President John Kilshaw. It was particularly good when you consider that the age range of the new Tablers was 18 - 22 and you could only wish them well for the future. It was good to see that the old regalia had not been lost and it was presented to the new Chairman.
Another highlight of the eveningwas listening to Milwall legend Tony Cascarino who was the guest speaker, who entertained everyone with his football stories.
As this was a "new" table (and particulary young) the evening was "themed" along those lines with "pass the parcel" (with a small bottle of whiskey as the prize); and a meal with a main course of fish fingers/chicken nuggetts, chips and alphabetti spaghetti.
Hopefully, this is the start of a bright new future for the organisation, but not withstanding this, it was good to weelcome the new members in, in true table style.
