Midweek Club: A Fact Finding Mission

6/5/2015

Last Thursday (30th April) your intrepid website custodian ventured out to test his creaking limbs and find out what our long running Midweek Club was all about. He and 56 other attendees had a great time. The Club caters for all levels of play from fairly social to pretty competitive and apart from morning tea you can continuously play from 9.00am to noon if you want, or take it a bit easier if you prefer. Because of the numbers attending a lot of doubles are played but it is possible to get some singles play as well. Thursday morning is run by Arthur Lee and is well organised in such a way that everybody gets as much table tennis as they want, playing with and against different opposition. The Club meets on Tuesdays too, when it is run by Merv Allardyce in a similar format. So if you have spare time on a Tuesday and/or Thursday morning you will be very welcome. Go to our to play page for more information about all our sessions and the fees payable. To see more photos click here.

The Midweek Club also has its own Facebook page (Empire Table Tennis Midweek Club Petone) which is well worth checking out.

PS Your custodian's limbs now both creak and ache but are on the improve! He will be attending again.
