Ilkley and District Round Table is a group of like minded
individuals who meet on a regular basis to fulfil three of the main aims of the
Round Table organisation: Fun, Fundraising and Fellowship.
| Fun: |
Attending and organising events such as Go
Karting, Brewery Trips, Ten Pin Bowling, Balti, Pub Quizzes, Golf,
Bowls,to name a few. |
| Fundraising: |
We run a number of fundraising events every
year, for which we rely on the ongoing generous support of the local
community:
Fun Run: The Fun Run and
Trial Race are held in Ilkley, (starting and finishing at East Holmes
Field) on the second Sunday in June every year. We usually get over 500
runners and raise around £3,000 for local good causes.
- Children in Need: The
annual BBC/Round Table fundraiser involves members of Ilkley Round Table
wearing fancy dress all day, rattling cans around Ilkley and raising
over £2,000.
- Santa Float: For five
evenings in the run up to Christmas we take Santa Claus on the float
around the streets of Ilkley and Addingham, bringing joy to many faces
and raising over £1,000 with the support of the community we visit.
- Other Events: We help
other organisations with their events and frequently run additional
fundraising events ourselves, these have included, an Auction of Goods
and Promises, canoeing the Liverpool to Leeds canal, and the 3 Peaks
Walk, each event raising several thousands for local charities and
worthy causes.

| Fellowship: |
The opportunity to meet new people, not only
in Ilkley table, but also from other tables and ’41 Clubs’ (ex-
Tablers). |
