We have three groups playing on three different days. Table tennis is well known for being beneficial for body and mental fitness, so why not join one of our friendly groups. Between us we are open to new members of all abilities, so if you want some enjoyable exercise and some fun come and join us. Borrow one of our bats and give it a try!

This has proved to be an ideal activity for the u3a age group, being as energetic as one wants it to be. It provides good exercise and, as well as requiring skill, it develops co-ordination and quick reactions, and is full of guile and cunning that can test one’s wits. For the serious players, armed with their sponge-rubber bats, it offers a variety of spin techniques to learn and master.

The standard of play has improved considerably over the years although we admit that we are not yet ready to take on the Chinese nor to appear at the Olympics! We welcome players of all standards from the beginner to the more experienced and our groups contain a very wide range of ability. Doubles, involving four players, is the most popular variation of our game and the groups derive a great deal of social enjoyment from these activities. There is laughter in abundance as someone fails to hit a high spinning ball or does a fluky shot that would do credit to a professional. “Not many people can do that shot,” someone calls out!

Tuesday 10:00 to 11:30 am. 

Wednesday 10:00 to 12:00 am.

Thursday 10:00 to 12:00 noon.

All groups meet at Chepstow Rugby Club in Bulwark
