The Round Table Club was established in 1927 as a means for male British professionals and businessmen to network and share opportunities. Their motto of 'adopt, adapt and improve' is a direct quote from the then Prince of Wales, Edward VIII in his address to the British Industries Fair, 1927, in which he urged industry leaders to work together for the greater good of Britain. The central dart-board iconography of the Round Table Club is a direct reference to a circular table displayed at Windsor Castle which was claimed by King Henry VIII to be the original round table of King Arthur. The idea of a chivalrous, knightly code of conduct accompanies the legend in which King Arthur created around table to ensure a fair and democratic seating plan for each of his quarrelling barons.
