  • Tablers recognised by a community

    I was fortunate enough to be awarded tabler of the year for Gauteng area, and with that got to take the prize
    of a trip to attend the Seychelles AGM in June 2022. Well, what a learning curve it was, and I am certain it has
    already improved the way I table.

    SO what can 7 tablers, one club and one association achieve? Well, a hell of a lot! When it comes to a
    reputation whereby the rondel may be proud, these guys take that to a new level. A legacy has been created
    whereby anywhere you go in the country, if you are wearing a rondel, the entire country knows who you are
    and what you about. Talk about Impactful change.

    They welcomed me into their AGM weekend with open arms, and it was great getting to build relationships
    (albeit in very casual attire), and build friendships that will last a lifetime. To see how these guys table, the
    distance they drive to attend meetings, and the impact they have on their communities, all while having fun
    and making a difference. It is probably the only association I have heard of where the president (of the
    country) wants to know the president of the association. That is when you know you have made a difference.

    Although they are not the same size they used to be, it was amazing to see what goes into their projects
    through the year, and then finally, their Regatta. When there is talk of over 100 000 raffle tickets sold, and an
    attendance on a weekend of over 50 000 people, on a group of islands with just over 94 000 people, it makes
    for great memories, and a lot of newly found excitement to join them for Regatta 2023 – this will be the first
    one held since lockdown.

    So just remember, it is not always about having a lot of members, it is about coming together as a team and
    making an impact that an entire country can look up to.

    • My Last Kids to the Sea
      As my table career gets to the end, it was the last project, I had to end my career. With a few already done, what an honor it has been. #proudtobeatabler “Kids to the Sea” is a project that came about from the unfortunate reality that most of the things that our children take for
    • The Mystic Mountain – a True Sabie experience
      Once upon a time, there was a small town that was struggling to raise funds for a local charity. The town had tried everything from bake sales to car washes, but nothing seemed to work. That is until a group of young and adventurous locals came up with an idea – an epic round table
