Competitions

Competition play is available throughout the whole year (3 seasons) and caters for all age groups and standards of play.

Social Play

A group of players (senior citizens, housewives, unemployed, shift workers) regularly meet on Tuesday, Friday or Sunday mornings between 9am and noon for a hit of table tennis (mainly doubles), a cup of tea/coffee and a chat. These sessions are very popular with those in attendance enjoying the community engagement and element of fitness. Some even go out for lunch together at a local caffe following the morning hit.
