Usually 2nd Tuesday of the month from 8-10pm
All welcome to join us for a friendly game of table tennis. We meet monthly, usually on the second Tuesday of the month, at the synagogue in the NFJ Hall. All ages and all abilities. The club recently received a new table in celebration of Robert Markless’s tutorship of 100 Bnei Mitzvah.
We have two tables and play singles as well as doubles. We usually end the evening with all around the table, when people have to keep moving around and hitting alternatively, losing a “life” every time they lose a point. After three lives, a person falls out. This continues until two left and they then play a best of five points singles. It can be very hectic at times, but good fun.
We took part in a national tournament in 2012 and won a trophy!
Please contact the Synagogue Office if you would like to join us

The new table tennis table is “christened”!!!

The afternoon walk starts from the same car park at 2.00pm and is a more leisurely 4 miles across farmland, through meadows and some more woodland areas. We shall be stopping for a well-deserved drink at a local pub before completing the smaller loop back to the start again.
The whole day is around 12 miles or so but you are welcome to do either or both of the loops.
