Table Tennis
We meet every
other Tuesday morning from 10-00 to 12-00 at the Woodside
Tennis Club in High Lane. At present, the subscription is
£1.50
to cover the use of their clubhouse and table tennis table. We have our
own U3A bats and balls.
We meet on Tuesday 4th March
and then 18th March, 1st April, 15th April, etc.
We are an assorted group of men and women with a wide range of
abilities. Most of us have not played for many years and our primary
objectives are enjoyment and exercise.
It is now over three months since we started the Table
Tennis Group and we are having a regular attendance of more than ten
players. Although we are of mixed ability, our mornings at the Woodside
Tennis Club are great fun and are enjoyed by all.
To minimise waiting time between games of singles, we have adopted the
International Rules of 11 up games. This works well but we are seeking
another table (second hand) to give a continuous knock-about facility.
|If anyone knows where one may be available, please
contact me.
There is still room for new
players who would be most welcome.
