Aims & objectives

Seven aims. One table.

These seven aims are the foundation of our constitution. Round Tablers around the world work to the same ones. Here's what each looks like in Benoni.

01

Fellowship through profession

To develop fellowship among young men through the medium of their professional and business occupations.


At GE181

Our members run businesses, practices and trades across the East Rand. The first Tuesday of the month is where those worlds meet.

02

Service through calling

To emphasise the fact that one’s calling offers an excellent medium of service to the community.


At GE181

When a project needs an accountant, a builder or a bakkie, somebody at the table usually has one.

03

The highest ideals

To cultivate the highest ideals in business, professional and civic traditions.


At GE181

We’re a registered NPO, and 100% of public funds raised go back into the community.

04

Dignity of occupation

To recognise the worthiness of all legitimate occupations and to dignify each his own by precept and example.


At GE181

Every Tabler’s work counts, whatever he does for a living.

05

Responsible citizenship

To foster responsible citizenship and loyalty to our country.


At GE181

Boikanyo, 1000 Legends and our drives all start with the same question: what does Benoni need?

06

International goodwill

To further the establishment of peace and goodwill in international relationships.


At GE181

We exchange pennants with tables around the world, and we host Euro 63 in April 2027.

07

Action through engagement

To further the above objects by meetings, lectures, discussions and other activities.


At GE181

Business meetings on the first Tuesday of every month at 18:30, with projects and socials in between.

The motto

Adopt. Adapt. Improve.

"The young business and professional men of this country must get together round the table..."

HRH The Prince of Wales, British Industries Fair, Birmingham, 1927. The words that gave Round Table its name and its motto.

Where the aims come from
