We are an assorted group of men and women with a wide range of
abilities. Most of us had not played for many years when we
started the group in January 2008 but we feel that our performance has
improved over the period and we all thoroughly enjoy the sessions.
We meet every Tuesday morning from 10.00 am to noon
at Woodside Tennis Club in High Lane led by Mike Snape. The
subscription is £2.00 to cover the use of the clubhouse,
their table tennis table and the cost of refreshments. We have our own
bats and balls and our own table which we store at the club.
Because our numbers had grown to a point where the two
tables were clearly inadequate and with no more available space we had
to close the membership. Since then we have started a second group.
This new group meets at the Brabyns Recreation Centre, Marple
Bridge, between 1pm and 3pm on a Tuesday afternoon and is led by Brian
Burke. At the Centre we have the use of four tables so we
can welcome
players of very different abilities and we can play a reasonable mix of
singles and doubles. As the Centre is operated by Stockport
Council it is desirable for everyone to have one of their Leisure Key
Discount Cards.
