DUAL THEME COINS

ROUND TABLE International and Ladies Circle International has agreed to a joint theme for the year. The theme of StrongerTogether showcases our shared values and goals, while the unique designs of the theme show that we are still separate organisations.

To celebrate this joint theme, we have created a limitededition coin with the different designs of the joint theme on each side. Stock is very limited, and these coins can only be obtained by attending an official side-by-side meeting. Tablers can only receive the coin from a board member of LCI, and Circlers can only get this coin from a member of the RTI Board. This encourages all members to join our sister organisation events for an opportunity to own an extremely rare piece of International regalia.

EXPLORE ROUND TABLE

THE RTI MEETING IN LUXEMBOURG at the start of 2020 was the last time that the international Tabling community could get together. In the 20 months since then, and despite all our efforts, we have not been able to have any physical get together.

We have budgeted € 23,400, funded from reserves, to subsidise travel of 78 members with an amount of € 300 each. Each Tabling association will be eligible to claim. The 78 members is allocated to each association based on the number of members as per their June 2021 membership numbers. For every part of 1,000 members, one member will be eligible to travel. We call this “Explore Round Table”.

Travel can be done between the RTIWM 2021 and the RTIWM 2022 and must be as follows:

Visit of a member to another Round Table association and attendance at any of their events. This cannot be combined with any current RTI travel grants or another form of RTI funding. The person travelling must after completion of the visit, write a minimum of a 300 word report to be submitted to their regional chairman.

The idea is to send a member who would otherwise not have an opportunity to travel to a fellow Round Table association to build the bonds of fellowship and be inspired. National associations can elect who to allocate these funds too. Associations are encouraged to engage with each other to invite and host Tablers to their events.

Should any association not utilise their claims, the unclaimed amounts will revert back into the reserves.

We call on all associations to grab this funding for exploring our international brotherhood with both hands and to reach our to any RTI Board member if any more information is required.
