Waterland is a scenic region in the province of North Holland, just north of Amsterdam, known for its historic villages, flat polder landscapes, and intricate network of canals. It includes towns like Purmerend, Edam, Volendam en Monnickendam, and is popular for cycling, water sports, and traditional Dutch charm.

The club meets every 1st Tuesday of the month at Spijkerman in Purmerend. Every 3rd Tuesday of the month, an activity is organized by one of the members. Every 5th Tuesday, an activity is organized by the board.

Service Projects

Round Table 60 Waterland has supported, among others, many foundations and charitable causes with a hands-on and/or financial contribution.

  • Steenwerpen Koemarkt: For over 20 years we host a regional folk game where two teams try to throw a dice off a wooden pole.
  • Gala: Every other year a Gala Night with an auction for charity is hosted.
  • Holiday service project: Selling exclusive wines for charity.

Activities

  • Club events

    • KidsGoCamping: Every year the Tablers go camping with the children, no partners allowed. There is only one rule: “You can’t say no!”.
    • Midsummer BBQ: The last event before the summer holiday. Tablers, former Tablers, partners and children come together for a festive kick-off of the summer.
    • Oliebollenfeest: At the end of the year after Christmas and before New Year’s Evening, the Tablers, partners and children come together for drinks and ‘Oliebollen’, whilst the kids can play.
    • New Year’s Reception: Tablers, former Tablers, and partners toast to a new year of Tabling.
    • Running Dinner: Before the board change in April the parting board organises the Running Dinner in March. Tablers, former Tablers, and partners will be hosting a starter or main course for each other. The host doesn’t know who’s coming and the guests don’t know where they’re going for their next course. At the end of the evening everybody gathers at the Chairman’s house for dessert and drinks.
    • Board Change: On the 1st Tuesday of April.
