What is Round Table 39?
The Round Table consists of a group of approximately 15 till 20 men in the age of 25 up to 40 years. They all live and/or work on the island of Schouwen-Duiveland in the South Western part of the Netherlands, and as a result they have already one thing which binds them and this increases the local involvement. Their professions differ, therefore the diversity of the group is guaranteed. When they have reached the age of 40, individuals leave the Round Table to make place for new members, this way the Round Table remains a very active club.

Round Table 39 Schouwen-Duiveland has been established on 26th April 1952 and therefore is one of the older Round Tables of the Netherlands and the oldest service club of Schouwen-Duiveland. Round Table 39 is a subsidiary of Round Table Netherlands
