Stirchley Baths Table Tennis Club and Community Sessions

 

One of the great success stories at Stirchley Baths has been the development of community table tennis  since 2016, starting with a couple of tables and now with five tables – Community Sessions run on  Mondays 2-3.30pm and Fridays 2-4pm. These are open to adults at all levels and only cost £2/session. The sessions are very sociable and new members are always welcome. Thank you to Matt and Linda who are the volunteer leaders for the sessions.

The next step – In 2019  a few casual players decided they would like to have a go at playing more competitively so Stirchley Baths Table Tennis Club was formed and a team  entered into the local Birmingham league. Unfortunately the first season was interrupted by Covid but in the year following lockdown the club won the 22/23 Division 4 and were promoted- a great achievement for a new club! For the 23/4 Winter season the club progressed to having entering 2 teams – Division 2 and Division 3 – both consolidated their position plus Noel Dias was awarded the trophy for best stats in Division 3 at the League AGM in July – well done Noel! The club has also been successful with 2 grants enabling more equipment and 2 match tables to be purchased, as well as running Coaching Sessions on a Wednesday evening.

Carrying on the progression 2 teams have been playing in the Summer League this year and it is hoped to enter 3 teams into the 24/5 Winter Leagues.

Club Night is run on a Monday evening 7.30-9pm for team members.
