Table tennis is a very popular group in our u3a and from January 2025 we have been running a second session on Thursday mornings. The Monday session is full but if you wish to play on Thursdays contact one of the coordinators.
We play mixed doubles on two tables, mixing in systematically and aiming to make the games even. Playing up to twenty-one points, games last typically five minutes.
You can find some of the key rules and hints for playing forehand and backhand strokes at the Table Tennis England website (button on right). You can also download the official laws of the game at a link at the bottom of the page on the Table Tennis England site.
