Euromeeting of the Round Table 9 tables
Once a year, they come together: up to twelve tables, twelve countries, one common number — 9. At the so-called Numbersmeeting, also known as Euromeeting, the members of all Round Table 9 tables worldwide meet to celebrate friendship and service across borders.
Each host table — in turn — organizes a weekend, with a pre-tour and possibly a past tour, with a cultural programme and friendly exchange.
The term “Numbersmeeting” is derived from the common table number — 9.
There are twelve active tables worldwide with this number — Halmstad (Sweden), Drammen (Norway), Utrecht (Netherlands), Trieste (Italy), Coimbatore (India), Egilsstadir (Iceland), Bristol (UK), Strassbourg (France), Paide (Estonia), Tapiola (Finland), Schaffhausen (Switzerland), Gentofte (Denmark). This exclusive group meets annually for a special weekend full of friendship, exchange and international togetherness.
The focus is not only on making and cultivating friendships across borders, but also on living the idea of service that unites all Tablers. With a mix of cultural events, social projects and joint activities, the Numbers Meeting offers the opportunity to experience the Round Table philosophy on an international level — lively, committed and cosmopolitan.
The Numbersmeeting is international friendship in action — and an impressive example of how service, commitment and personal encounters can bring a community together across national borders.
The Numbersmeeting shows how a simple number — 9 — can become a strong, cross-border movement. It stands for friendship in the service of others — and for what Round Table is all about: “Adopt. Adapt. Improve.”
