ANYONE FOR TABLE TENNIS?<br />

by Jeremy Hallett<br />

One of the original supporters of Active <strong>Uckfield</strong>’s Sport for<br />

All Days, is <strong>Uckfield</strong>'s own Table Tennis club at Ridgewood.<br />

They are offering a 'have a go' day on Sunday 28 <strong>April</strong> - why<br />

not come along and try?<br />

WHAT SPORT IS BEING OFFERED?<br />

Table Tennis - for people of all ages and<br />

levels of fitness. And for people of all<br />

abilities!<br />

WHERE?<br />

Ridgewood Village Hall off New Road. A<br />

welcoming club with the members that<br />

Active <strong>Uckfield</strong> work with - Nigel Dyer,<br />

and John Gothard from Ridgewood Post<br />

Office.<br />

WHEN?<br />

Sunday 28 <strong>April</strong> between 3 & 5pm.<br />

DO YOU NEED TO BRING<br />

ANYTHING WITH YOU?<br />

Just comfortable clothing and shoes<br />

to move around on - no high heels or<br />

football boots!<br />

CAN YOU COME ON YOUR OWN?<br />

Of course you can - members will play<br />

with anyone who wants an opponent<br />

and they'll help if you don't know the<br />

rules.<br />

If you want a<br />

challenge, then<br />

the club are leaders of Division 2 of the<br />

East Grinstead Table Tennis League and<br />

I am sure some of the members there<br />

will give people a work out if they want<br />

to push themselves.<br />

FINALLY, AN INTERESTING FACT.<br />

Ridgewood Table Tennis come back<br />

to our Active <strong>Uckfield</strong> Days every<br />

summer, despite the first year seeing<br />

the competition standard table that<br />

they bring having it's surface "bubble<br />

up" in the sun. Since then we've had<br />

rain and strong winds at times, but this<br />

year, when we will be at West Park on 10<br />

August together with Wealden District<br />

Council, we hope that we will again<br />

have the weather to allow picnics and<br />

great time together.<br />

WHY SHOULD YOU TRY A SPORT<br />

AND OUR SUMMER DAY?<br />

Because this gives a “double whammy”<br />

of finding a way to improve or<br />

maintain fitness and general health<br />

improvements or health maintenance<br />

because you enjoy yourself.<br />

For more information or if you are<br />

involved in running an organisation<br />

that promotes community or physical<br />

activity and want to join our summer<br />

day please feel free to contact me<br />
