Club Facilities

The new centre which was opened on the 24/06/2002 came to fruition through the liaison with the head of St Johns School, Andy Blundell who has been supportive of the table tennis activities that the club has been involved in over the years, the root of which was supported by the previous head Leslie Bowman.

The double aspect of the hall will accomodate 6 full grade 2 courts or 8 practice tables.The lighting is second to none. Its computer aided design is able to produce over 1000 lux of light over the entire hall for premier matches and can be turned down to 500 lux for general use.

The venue possesses a unique feature - a design that gives the club the flexibility to close off half the hall for league matches and still allows the other half of the hall to be used for coaching and practice. Centres like this are so often talked about but seldom achieved. We are proud and privileged to have access to such a high standard venue.

This amalgamation with St Johns CofE Primary School (where many of the club members have historically been from) gives direct access to over 650 pupils ranging from reception to age 11 which is precisely the age group that needs targeting for the start of any table tennis career.
