We are delighted to announce that a new outdoor table tennis table has been installed and is now available to the Bolton-le-Sands community.
This fantastic addition to our village was made possible thanks to Table Tennis England’s ‘Ping in the Community‘ scheme, which offers subsidised table tennis packages designed to kick-start an interest in table tennis in the community. The cost was met with a grant awarded from the Parish Champion Grants scheme and the Parish Council.
The table is situated on a durable concrete base, ensuring it is ready for play in all seasons. We encourage residents of all ages and skill levels to come and enjoy a game of table tennis, whether you are an experienced player or just looking for some fun.
Benefits of table tennis
Getting active brings a whole wealth of health and well-being benefits. Social table tennis connects people from different walks of life, creates friendships and a sense of community.
Community Spirit and Care
As a community, it’s important that we all take care of this equipment to ensure it remains in good condition for everyone to enjoy for many years to come. To help maintain the table and equipment, please adhere to the following guidelines:
- Return the bats and balls to their proper place after use.
- Avoid placing heavy objects, sitting or standing on the table.
- If you notice any damage or issues with the equipment, please inform the Parish Council promptly so that repairs can be arranged.
We hope this new table tennis table will become a popular spot for recreation and community bonding. Thank you for your cooperation, and enjoy your games!
