About
This year we have been the strongest in our history. Bagging 3 awards at ASPA for Table of the year, Service project of the year and Tabler of the year was by no means a small feat. The first ever Round Table Ball was held with much success with the proceeds being allocated to our service project HEROES. It is noteworthy that CCRT4 has a four member strong representation at the RTSL NEX.

Being a charter member of the Colombo Cinnamon Round Table 4 and leading the table this year has been a journey, and a memorable one at that. From a strength of just 6 members, we are today standing at 13 strong and poised to grow further. I have seen members migrate, leave and then those who have returned after a lapse of many years to rejoin us. I’ve seen the table struggle, bond, regroup and achieve. Some new members being the catalyst for this, and others picking up from where some left off by giving the table that push needed.

We as a table feel it is our time to shine. Shine not only for us but for the entire tabling fraternity in Sri Lanka. Our participation at inter table events have been nothing but spectacular. Quite a few of our members have taken part in international events including the world meeting at Visby, Sweden. With our service project shifting into high gear and we already planning to repeat another successful RT Ball for 2016 we are bound to have a roller coaster ride this year.
With such exciting times and challenges ahead, my priority as Chairman is to guide and direct the table while preserving, nourishing and strengthening table unity.
