Origins

Round Table 25 was charted (formed) in 1930 as Swindon and District Round Table 25 – the number indicates the order in which the clubs were formed – so RT25 was the 25th club to be formed in the UK.

RT 25 celebrated it’s 75th anniversary in 2001.
In 2005 it was decided, after much discussion, to merge with Highworth and Cricklade RT 1063, forming a renamed Highworth and Swindon RT 25.
