About the group:
We are a welcoming and active Table Tennis Club that brings people together through fun, competitive, and social play. Whether you’ve never picked up a paddle before or you already play regularly, everyone is welcome.
We meet every week for structured but relaxed sessions located in the LRV next to verve:
• Tuesdays: 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM
• Fridays: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
At our sessions, we:
- Play casual games to build confidence and skill.
- Organise matches for friendly competitions
- Rotate players so everyone gets a chance to play different opponents.
- Run fun challenges to keep things interesting.
We also host special events such as:
- UV Table Tennis with glow-in-the-dark equipment.
- Mini-tournaments and skill challenges.
- Themed or surprise sessions to keep the energy high.
Why You Should Get Involved:
We’re more than just a sports club — we’re a great community of people who support each other. If you’re new to table tennis, we’ll help you learn and improve in a relaxed, encouraging environment. If you just want to socialise and meet new people, this is a great place to do it.
There’s no pressure and no need to be nervous — everyone starts somewhere, and we’re always happy to welcome new faces. Don’t be afraid to come down and give it a try.
You might find it becomes the highlight of your week.
