Round Table celebrates the launch of it’s Website
A very special event is taking place this week to support the work undertaken by Dursley & District Round Table in the local area.
Dursley Round Table has been part of the community since 1959 and during that time hundreds of local people have been part of the fun and friendship. Dursley & District Round Table has also helped to raise thousands of £s for local organisations.
To help promote the work and family fun the website has been launched to allow more people to find out about Round Table and see why the club has the slogan of ‘one of the best organisations in the world.’
An example of their good work was the recent talk to the club on the £2.2m appeal to double the number of therapy rooms, increased space for counseling, diversional therapies, plus improved disabled access at the Cotswold Care Hospice.
Clive Allen, Chairman of Dursley & District Round Table said: “We feel it’s important to tell local people about Round Table and what we do in the area. We are very much family orientated and as well as many social events we also help many other groups and charities. Many people know about us through the annual Santa sleigh or fireworks but there is much more to Round Table and we would like people to come and find out.”
