Ping Pong Poynings Table Tennis
We have managed to secure a reinforced concrete base for the outdoor table tennis table, one that complies with all the regulations, for £1400. We have £600 in the bank so there is just another £800 to go. Any last minute donations would be most welcome: drop an envelope in to either Sheila Marshall (Oak Cottage) or Colin Warburton (Hideaway Cottage).
