Please Note; The Table Tennis Group will run throughout the year, however between the months October to April (summer) the Table Tennis sessions will be run by Viv Booth. Enquires should still be made to Gideon Thomas. The £5.00 annual fee can either be made to Gideon Thomas or Viv Booth and will then be paid onto to the Treasurer.

Table tennis (also known as ping-pong) is a racket sport derived from tennis but distinguished by its playing surface being atop a stationary table, rather than the court on which players stand. Either individually or in teams of two, players take alternating turns returning a light, hollow ball over the table's net onto the opposing half of the court using small rackets (or bats) until they fail to do so, which results in a point for the opponent. Play is fast, requiring quick reaction and constant attention, and is characterized by an emphasis on spin, which can affect the ball's trajectory more than in other ball sports.
