Around 60,000 people worldwide belong to the large Round Table-family – and what unites them all is more than just a network: it is working together for good causes, making valuable contacts and, above all, working together. Whether Ladies Circle, Round Table or Old Table – Friendship, helpfulness and commitment are the values that characterize the spirit of this community.

Exactly this spirit was also present at the workshop of the Old Tablers 4 Nuremberg on August 4, 2025. The venue: the newly opened coworking space in Dr. Carlo Schmid Straße. Topic of the day: How do we attract new members – and thus fresh energy for our projects?

Old Tabler Matthias got to the heart of the matter:

“Until now, we have lacked the visibility to highlight the benefits that we can offer our members as an internationally networked association.”

Recruiting with heart and strategy

The workshop resulted in a clear recruiting strategy based on one principle: The best way to win people over is to approach them personally. In addition, the Nuremberg Old Tablers have now developed various e-mail templates and digital materials to inform interested parties in a targeted manner and to bring them on board even after the initial contact.

Because one thing is certain: once you’re in, you’ll want to stay in. Or, as Brinkmann puts it:

“We know from experience: Once you’ve joined us, you’ll be happy to stay with us in the future!”

Conclusion

Whether a local project or international cooperation – the Old Tablers 4 Nuremberg show that commitment, community and friendship are the best arguments to get people excited about this special movement. Because at the end of the day, being involved is everything.

The history of the “Tabler” is now almost a hundred years old – and more lively than ever. Mit weltweit 35.000 Mitgliedern, davon allein 3.500 in Deutschland, wächst und gedeiht das Club-Netzwerk mit seinen Sektionen: Round Table (Männer im Alter von 18 – 40 Jahren), Old Tablers (Männer über 40), Ladies Circle (Frauen im Alter von 18 – 40 Jahren und Tangent (Frauen über 40) site by site.

Wie international und dennoch unkompliziert das Netzwerk funktioniert, zeigte sich einmal mehr bei einem Besuch der Nürnberger Old Tablers 4 und ihren Partnerinnen in der rumänischen Hauptstadt Bukarest über das verlängerte Pfingstwochenende. The occasion was the foundation, the charter of the table “Club 41 Bucharest 1”, to which the Nuremberg table was cordially invited to the metropolis as a future international partner table, including Maren Brinkmann and Matthias Brinkmann.

The program and hospitality of the Romanians were almost world champions. It started with a rock party a la “Rolling Stone”, which was quite something 🙂 On the following Saturday, the obligatory tour through the city of Bucharest was followed by the charter party with table foundation and certificate signing; the conclusion here was a gala dinner. The city exploration continued on Pentecost Sunday with a visit to Bucharest Castle and an art exhibition.

Bei der Abreise am Montag hatte man sich längst auf einen Gegenbesuch im kommenden Jahr geeinigt, ein toller Start einer langen Freundschaft.
