2008/9 Fund Raising for Local Organisation Sandbach Round Table are proud to announce that they have been busy raising charity money during 2008/9 for the "Talking Newspaper Services" The two main events, to raise money, so far have been a "5 Country Bike Ride" & "The 2008 Sandbach Beer Festival".
Sandbach Round Table would like to thank all Sponsors, organisers, customers, helpers & their wives for all their help in raising well over £3,000 from the beer festival. The event was held over two days and the support from the Sandbach community & local businesses was outstanding, without their attendance & sponsorship this event would not have been such a massive success. And you will be glad to know that all the money raised from this event will go straight back into the Sandbach community. _____________________________ Tablers on

DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER ~ SANDBACH ROUND TABLE
CELEBRATE 60 YEARS
Celebrating 60 years of Round Table fun and
fellowship, members of Sandbach Round Table past and
present were joined by Tablers from all over the UK
and Europe to join in their party at the Town Hall
on Friday.
Organiser of the event, Past Chairman of the
Table, Anthony Stubbs said “We could not have wished
for a better turn out for what is a landmark
birthday in an exciting organisation”
The event, held every five years, marked a
significant date in the Table’s history. With more
than 140 Tablers, past and present with their guests
helped wish the Table a very happy birthday.
Toasting the Table, President and Past Chairman
of Sandbach Round Table Richard Brown provided the
guests with a potted history of the Table; current
Chairman Peter Henderson continued the story and
thanked all the guests for attending from as far
away as Paris and
Newtownabbey
near Belfast. Wrapping up the speeches, National
President of RTBI Peter Manley congratulated the
Table on a splendid Charter event commenting that it
had been the best event he had been privileged to
attend as National President of the organisation.
Tabler Stubbs went on to thank the guest speaker
who appeared at short notice following unfortunate
circumstances of previously booked speakers who
could not attend the function. He said, “Our
comedian this evening Ollie Simpson was fantastic.”
Following the event on Friday, the Tablers
continued to entertain their visitors for the rest
of the weekend and attended the Area 22 Ladies Night
the following evening where more than 100 Tablers
and their partners gathered at a hotel near
Manchester Airport for this annual event.
If that was not enough, most of the Tablers who
had been involved in the previous two events then
met the volunteers who erect the Christmas lights in
the Town early on Sunday morning to make sure these
were up and ready for the official lights switch on
ceremony to be held on Saturday 29th
November.
Commenting on the Charter event, Chairman of
Sandbach Round Table, Peter Henderson said “this has
been a fantastic weekend! Only in Table could you
have so much fun with so many people from such far
flung places! Table has worked hard to produce this
memorable weekend and I thank all those who have
been involved.”
