Table tennis is a sport for all. It can help releasing work stress and burning off unwanted calories at a rate higher than football (professional players can hit a ball 3 times a second!). You can also play table tennis whatever the weather is.
We usually meet at the Club Studio on Monday and Thursday evenings, and at the Hub Theatre on either Saturday or Sunday mornings whenever we are able to book it.
The Club has two 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 25 members. 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.
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 Mondays and Thursday and ask if anybody wants to play on that day. If someone is interested to play, he/she will reply to all the people in the mailing list with the time he/she intends to come. If you would like to join the mailing list, please contact us.
Members of the Club are happy to give advice and help to new members.
