TABLER . WIKI / RTTT Round Table Trinidad and Tobago

Round Table Trinidad and Tobago (RTTT) was chartered by Round Table Suriname 1 Paramaribo on September 10th, 2016, officially joining Round Table International (RTI) and the Northern Europe and Americas (NEA) region. Built on the strong foundations of brotherhood and charity, RTTT has consistently spearheaded initiatives that foster community development and social impact.

RTTT 1 San Fernando is currently the sole club in Round Table Trinidad & Tobago. The club is based in the city of San Fernando, located in the southwestern part of the Island of Trinidad. San Fernando is unofficially called the ‘Industrial Capital’ of Trinidad and Tobago due to the oil and gas industry that is centred there.

Trinidad and Tobago, known for its rich culture, vibrant traditions, and warm, welcoming people, provides the perfect backdrop for RTTT’s spirit of service and fellowship. Though modest in size, the association stands tall in its dedication, hospitality, and commitment to building lasting bonds while giving back to the community.

RT Trinidad & Tobago has a strong foundation in charity work, having been awarded the NEAR (Northern Europe & the Americas Region) Service Project of the Year in 2020 and 2021 for their “Feed a Family” initiative. This initiative, along with the “40 for 40” initiative, has provided hundreds of grocery hampers for less fortunate families every year.

RTTT San Fernando #1 is already well-known for its community service efforts, including the “Feed a Family” project, which provides food assistance to families in need. The club has been awarded the NEAR (Northern Europe & the Americas Region) Service Project of the Year in 2020 and 2021 for this initiative. RTTT partners frequently with other NGOs to deliver food supplies to needy families across the island. Annual “back-to-school” drives and blood drives are some other non-food aid initiatives. Beyond food aid, RTTT is active year-round in organizing fundraisers and entertainment events that support local communities.

Committed to brotherhood, service, and meaningful change, RTTT continues to embody the “Adopt, Adapt, Improve” spirit, making a lasting impact across Trinidad and Tobago.

Rondel

The logo of Round Table Trinidad & Tobago San Fernando #1 features thirteen alternating red and white segments, proudly incorporating the national colours. At its centre is the image of a steel pan, the national instrument of Trinidad & Tobago, symbolising culture, rhythm, and unity.
The rondel also carries two distinctive elements that highlight the nation’s identity and spirit:

1. 1. Lighthouse – Replacing the traditional King Arthur emblem, a red and white lighthouse is depicted. This landmark, located at the entrance of Port of Spain, stands as a symbol of guidance and hope, representing a welcoming haven and endless possibilities.
   2. Scarlet Ibis – One of the national birds of Trinidad & Tobago, renowned for its vibrant red plumage, is illustrated in flight at the rondel’s centre. It signifies vitality, freedom, and the soaring aspirations of the Table.

Together, these elements create a powerful emblem that reflects both the national pride and the values of fellowship, service, and community that define the association.
