One of a number of Visitor Pin Books scattered around the world.
The guest book is open to all Tablers and Circlers visiting Finland on any occasion. Visitors are welcome to write their greetings in the book and pin them for others to see. The history of these visits is preserved by the RTSF President. The tradition began in 2017, initiated by RTSF President Sami Manninen with the following words:
“Please leave your regards to travelling tablers in Finland. Leave your message with date, travel destination and your regards. Sign your regards with your club and country. If someone should be so indiscreet that you would have thoughts about pinching this book, our administration is already cancelling your visas to Finland and confiscating your luggage. But as you are a True Tabler and you found this book, you haven’t got that kinds of thoughts. Enjoy your moments with this book!”
When the book is filled, a representative of Round Table Suomi Finland will replaced it, and keep the filled tome in the archives of the Association.
