ANYONE FOR TABLE TENNIS?
by Jeremy Hallett
One of the original supporters of Active Uckfield’s Sport for
All Days, is Uckfield's own Table Tennis club at Ridgewood.
They are offering a 'have a go' day on Sunday 28 April - why
not come along and try?
WHAT SPORT IS BEING OFFERED?
Table Tennis - for people of all ages and
levels of fitness. And for people of all
abilities!
WHERE?
Ridgewood Village Hall off New Road. A
welcoming club with the members that
Active Uckfield work with - Nigel Dyer,
and John Gothard from Ridgewood Post
Office.
WHEN?
Sunday 28 April between 3 & 5pm.
DO YOU NEED TO BRING
ANYTHING WITH YOU?
Just comfortable clothing and shoes
to move around on - no high heels or
football boots!
CAN YOU COME ON YOUR OWN?
Of course you can - members will play
with anyone who wants an opponent
and they'll help if you don't know the
rules.
If you want a
challenge, then
the club are leaders of Division 2 of the
East Grinstead Table Tennis League and
I am sure some of the members there
will give people a work out if they want
to push themselves.
FINALLY, AN INTERESTING FACT.
Ridgewood Table Tennis come back
to our Active Uckfield Days every
summer, despite the first year seeing
the competition standard table that
they bring having it's surface "bubble
up" in the sun. Since then we've had
rain and strong winds at times, but this
year, when we will be at West Park on 10
August together with Wealden District
Council, we hope that we will again
have the weather to allow picnics and
great time together.
WHY SHOULD YOU TRY A SPORT
AND OUR SUMMER DAY?
Because this gives a “double whammy”
of finding a way to improve or
maintain fitness and general health
improvements or health maintenance
because you enjoy yourself.

day please feel free to contact me
