A century of fellowship
Round Table was born in Norwich in 1927, founded by Louis Marchesi to bring young men together around friendship and service. Today the movement has members in more than 60 countries. Europe One — the annual gathering of Europe's No. 1 Tables — was first held in Brussels in 1965. In 2028, after the centenary in Norwich, it comes home.
