The RTI World Meeting

Wednesday, the 6th of September

This is the arrival day for anyone not on a pre-tour will be met at the airport before being transported to the hotels. We expect this to be a hectic day at the airport and the registration desk. After registration, everyone has some free time to meet up with old friends for the first time or to continue the bonds of friendship already formed. We will ensure the bar is fully stocked for everyone, with beers flowing all day. The opening night is a short distance from the Green Point Cricket Club hotels. It will be an outdoor festival with a traditional spit braai. We will have great live music (more to follow soon), flowing beers and a great venue open this World Meeting.

Thursday, the 7th of September

The Councillors Meeting starts early morning. This is a great place to see all motions being debated and some of the internal workings of Round Table ib a global scale. After lunch, all participants at the councillor's meeting will hike up Table Mountain for a great pic and a few drinks. We will have the Nations Night in the oldest building in South Africa, the Castle of Good Hope. We will introduce the world to six different traditional potjies while sharing and exchanging culture, snacks and drinks. This is a highlight for most at a World Meeting and an evening that is hard to forget. Why not try and make a full loop of all the nations and their offerings?

Friday, the 8th of September

The AGM will be a significant affair, with all the flair associated with it. Afterwards, the banner and gift exchange takes place at the AGM venue. Non-attendees can partake in the planned day tours or venture out independently. There are plenty of great bars and restaurants to get lost in. We will leave for the clubhouse parties late afternoon for what promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We will have a traditional braai, taste the famous brandy and coke, watch the rugby (France vs New Zealand in the opening RWC game) and form friendships to last a lifetime. This will be a hard night for many, but it will be one for the ages. Yes, there is a prize for the Table that 'kuier' the hardest.

Saturday, the 9th of September

The regional meetings will be split between the local Round Table clubhouses and the hotel pool for one of the SEM region. In addition to the day tours, we will have dedicated shuttles running to a neighbourhood's market and the V&A Waterfront. You will have free time in the afternoon to enjoy while you prepare for the gala dinner. Always the highlight of a World Meeting, the Gala Dinner will promise to be one to remember. Join us for the pre-drinks at 18h00 at the CTICC before closing out this Tabling year in the best way possible.

Sunday, the 10th of September

With the official programme ending, we all share a last breakfast before departing home. Remember to stop at the registration desk to collect your going away gift.
