INDUCTION
In the past there has not been a formal induction ceremony for anyone joining 41 Club but clubs are now being encouraged to welcome and induct new members in these words which are almost identical to your induction into Round Table.

[N] As a former member of [Round Table name] you are now to be received into membership of [name of club] which is part of the National Association of Ex Round Tablers Clubs.
Your acceptance of membership carries with it an obligation to uphold the Objects of our Association which reflect the ideals that you adopted as a member of the Round Table movement.

The Objects of 41 Club are – [i] to continue to promote opportunities for fellowship amongst former members of Round Table. [ii] to encourage active involvement in the community [iii] to use our experience in support of the Round Table Family [iv] to encourage international relationships.
Do you accept this obligation? [response: Yes – I do].

Then in the name of our Association and of [name of Club] I welcome you into our fellowship. The presentation of this badge is now a symbol of your connection with a world-wide Association of thousands of like minded men.

Wear this badge at all times, and remember as you wear it, that you carry the good repute of 41 Club into all that you do - for this Association is judged by those who recognise you as a member.
Fellow members – please be upstanding. I commend [N] to you and ask you to drink a toast to him and remind you that the obligation he has accepted today is an obligation of which you should be equally mindful, for it binds you together in life long fellowship.

We not only believe that it is right to formally welcome new members but by adopting a formal induction in this way we wish to emphasise the close links between the two organisations as well as reminding long standing existing members of the club just what 41 Club is all about!
