π€ COMMUNITY & PROJECTS
π£ THE FISH CANOE MARATHON
Cradock 37βs biggest project is the legendary Fish Canoe Marathon, affectionately known as βThe Fish.β
The event brings together paddlers, supporters and the wider community along the Fish River, creating an opportunity for Cradock 37 to make a significant contribution while showcasing the town and its famous river.
ποΈ TABLE LEGACY
More than seven decades of Round Table history have given Cradock 37 a strong place within the Eastern Province.
From its establishment in 1955 to today, the Table continues the tradition of fellowship, service and community involvement that has kept Round Table going for generations.
π¦ TABLE CULTURE β THE ZEBRA BELT
Every Table has its traditions, but Cradock 37 certainly has one that stands out!
The Chairman has a zebra belt β and it doesnβt belong to any one Chairman permanently.
Instead, the belt is passed from Chairman to Chairman, becoming a quirky piece of Table history that connects each new Chairman with those who held the position before him.

It was once a mortuary! π³
From a place associated with final goodbyes to a clubhouse filled with fellowship, laughter and Table spirit β thatβs certainly one way to give a building a new lease on life!
THIS IS CRADOCK 37.
Nearly 70 years of history, a legendary canoe marathon, a former mortuary for a clubhouse and one very distinctive zebra belt. π¦π»
