A Warm Welcome to New Players
Come and enjoy table tennis in a relaxed club. Whether you’re a social player, returning after a break, or just looking for some light exercise, you’ll feel right at home.
We’re a friendly, social club first and foremost — no pressure, all levels welcome. For those who want it, we also field teams in the local league. Perfect for:
Players returning after a break, or just after a relaxed hit rather than a full-on game
A social session alongside our league nights — play purely for fun, no fixtures required
Social players who've had a go before — bats are available if you need one
Anyone who fancies more — our league teams, Riverside Rushes and Riverside Rapids, welcome new players
“I hadn’t played in years, but everyone made me feel welcome from the first session.”
