History of RT Malta (RTMT)

2020: “Healthy Growth”

Maltese Tablers returning from the RTIT Venice Carnival had to spend one week in quarantine, as they returned at the start of pandemic restrictions. With the peak of COVID-19 restrictions, many activities were held online. RTMT 2 held their 40th Charter anniversary over Zoom; “Quarantine Online Wine and Dine”, with attendees wearing formal wear, and having pizza together, albeit remotely.

At the October AGM, the term of 2020–2021 was given the theme of “Healthy Growth”, using the slow covid period to focus on areas that needed attention such as a potential recharter of RT3, updated rules, understanding Round Table’s current purpose, and other foundational aspects that could allow the association to grow once the restrictions are lifted.

“Healthy Growth” of the members was given importance, with Men’s mental health on the agenda of RTMT for the first time. The stigma of discussion of the topic was broken with discussions at national and at table levels.

2021: Dar il-Mejda, RT Wedding

During the first RTMT HYM in years, National President Christopher Mintoff ended the presentation with “One more thing”, announcing the acquisition of an Association clubhouse in Valletta, on a 15 year lease agreement.

    • 19th August 2021: Signing of 15-year Lease Agreement for Dar il-Mejda
    • 5th November 2021: First International Visitors, during National AGM
    • December 2021: Start of Restoration Works

The National AGM in October was preceded by the National President’s wedding (for which a pin exists) and the EURO 2 numbers meeting was organised as a pre-tour. International Tablers could attend a week’s worth of fellowship, which was very welcome following Covid restrictions. During the AGM, the floor presented a motion to give the National President one more year to be able to complete the projects started by the National Council. One more year of “Healthy Growth”!

The Last Leg Rule (RTMT) was proposed and approved.
