Open University Table Tennis Club

The Club is primarily for OU staffs and students. Members usually meet in the Green Room (the room situated above the Old Lecture Theatre) on Monday and Thursday evenings and the Old Lecture Theatre on Saturday or Sunday mornings. We have regular bookings for the Green Room for:

• Monday and Thursday evenings (5-11pm);
• Sunday morning (9:30-1pm).

We also have some bookings for the Old Lecture Theatre for:

• Saturday mornings (9:30-1pm)
• Sunday mornings (9:30-1pm)

The club has three tables with nets, bats, balls and a serving robot for use by members. However, for serious players, they are encouraged to bring their own bats. We now have about 40 members, of different levels. The club is also an affiliated club of the Milton Keynes Table Tennis League. We currently have four teams playing in the league at varies divisions. If you are interested in playing league matches, please contact us.

The membership fee for 2010 is 6 pounds per annum for OU staffs and students, and 9 pounds per annum for non-OU members. The membership fee will be reduced by 50% if one joins the club between 1st July  and 31st December. Session fee is only 1.5 pound for non-members and free for members. 

The way we arrange a practice session is that I send an email out to all the people in the mailing list in the mornings of Monday and Thursday and ask if anybody wants to play on that day. If someone is interested to play, they will reply to all the people in the mailing list with the time they intends to come. If you would like to join the mailing list, please send me an email or visit the University's list management system and subscribe to the table tennis list.

Members of the club are happy to give advice and help to new members.
