About Table Tennis
Table tennis is considered to have a number of benefits for retired people, including:
- improving hand-eye co-ordination
- stimulating the brain
- helping with socialising
- keeping reflexes sharp

Our group
This group has been operating since 2013, and has been full for most of the time. We now play at Sale Leisure Centre.
In recent times a few of our group members have not been attending regularly, and I have found that it's useful to have a waiting list of people who can fill spaces at short notice when numbers allow, and I'm able to invite waiting list members fairly frequently. This works well, as I use a WhatsApp group to ascertain attendance numbers in advance of each session, thus enabling me to work out how many "reserves" can be fitted in, and I then send last-minute invitations to Waiting List members, also via WhatsApp.
