What is the Pentangular Meeting
The Pentangular Clubs work together on their Pentangular Project in Dodi Papase. In order to strengthen the friendship and improve the cooperation, the five Pentangular Clubs come together one a year during the Pentangular Meeting.
There is generally a theme to the weekend and this can best be described as eclectic. The first Pentangular in 1963 had as its theme: "The Common Market and European Community". Since then topics have included pollution, the protection of nature, youth and art. The theme of 2010 will be: "Warm friendship".
The Pentangular Meeting is generally scheduled in mid to late May and it follows a set pattern in the order of Canterbury, NL, St Quentin, Leuven and Ldenscheid. Leuven last hosted the event in 2005. In 2010, Leuven will host again.
Accommodation is encouraged to be with families with hotel facilities booked as required. The weekend starts on Friday evening and ends on Sunday afternoon and comprises about 200 Rotary members and their partners. A series of local visits takes place during the weekend with a Grand Dinner on the Saturday night.
