SUMMER TABLE TENNIS PRACTICE AT THE WAREHOUSE CENTRE -ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY HERE

Availability of tables for Tuesday practice at the Warehouse centre is as follows :- 20th May- 7 tables, 27th May- 6, 3rd June- 7, 10th June- 7, 
17th June- 7, 24th June- 6, 1st July- 6, 8th July- 5, 15th July- 7.
After this, all tables will be available for practice until the winter league starts in September (except for possibly a couple of weeks when some clubs may use 2 or 3 tables for their club champs) 
Following a successful "get back to table tennis" course at the Warehouse centre on every other Saturday morning, it it has been decided to open this session up to all interested players of all abilities. Unlike Tuesdays, no league games are played on Saturdays so all 10 tables are available for practice/social play and there will be some coaching for those of you who require some help with their game.
The new dates which have been arranged are:- 24th may, 7th June, 21st June, 5th July, and 12th July. Each session will be from 9.30 a.m. - 12.30 p.m. The price for each session will be £3.50, the same as Tuesday evening.

 

Congratulations to Kevin Read who won the Men's Singles

on Saturday 8th with a narrow victory over Stuart Gibbs.
