Have looked at Ponds Forge but they want £8 for 45 mins which seems a bit steep to me and they want to charge more for bat hire on top. Anyone know of any cheaper tables, anywhere, city centre(ish) preferred?

Anyone know of any cheaper tables, anywhere, city centre(ish) preferred? TTman 18-02-2008, 10:24 Philly, I run a TT club, fees only £25 per year. Available to practice after 6pm till 10:30. If you are just a social player, we do coaching. If you just want to play socially Don Valley Table Tennis club at the EIS do an hour for £3, dont know whether you have to provide your own bat? TT man the_mandarin 18-02-2008, 11:10 I have played at TTMan's club once and can say that the club has some good players - you will like it there. The only reason I did not join up was that I lived too far from the club. If you want to play without joining any club, you can also book a table at Goodwin Sports Centre. I believe it is about £6 for 45 minutes. Tartempion 18-02-2008, 11:26 I've seen people playing at Hillsborough Leisure Centre. I don't know how much it is per hour though. philyyy 18-02-2008, 13:01 Where is the club TT man? I'll have to consult with my potential opponent but might be a goer. I think I'm beyond coaching though. shuwarrior51 18-02-2008, 14:13 COmmon Room on end of Division street - £2.50 for 30mins flat fee philyyy 19-02-2008, 21:47 Where are the tables in there? Isn't it a bit sweaty playing table tennis in a pub? Are the tables permanantly set up or is this just at specific times? adam1swfc 22-02-2008, 14:56 Does anybody know of any competitions you can join? Jeerumba 01-03-2008, 19:09 This thread seems to have gone a bit quiet - but is there anywhere over this end of town - Sharrow/Heeley/Eccy Road? philyyy 01-03-2008, 20:18 I still haven't managed to get down to The Common Room but that might be the way forward. chami.shu 12-09-2009, 14:44 i'm interesting in TT too. i have played TT before. i would like to join TTman's club. can somebody tell me where his club located. thank you jergang 08-10-2009, 21:32 i'm interested in joining TTman's club as well. NPressureCS 11-12-2009, 21:07 There is a table tennis league at Killamarsh Sports Centre 0114 2485554 Proterra 15-03-2010, 08:45 See my post for Handsworth Table tennis. we also play in Junior & senior leagues davidjones 15-03-2010, 14:30 Yea call The Table Tennis club near Dronfield , Adrian runs it 0114 2507097 TTman 19-03-2010, 14:50 Sorry Guys to not be in Touch, but one of my players died and the Council have taken over the building, so the club is closing at the end of April. I do not forsee it opening again either. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I have been quite busy over the last two months Roger TTman Tel 07905079523 chami.shu 06-07-2010, 12:01 i have played TT before. i'm looking for a free place to play TT. does anybody know such place ? or if you have got a table and looking for a partner, plz let me know. Bernhard69 07-07-2010, 13:04 I would love to play a bit of Table Tennis again. Does anyone know cheap/ free places? My skills are not great but I think I am not too bad. Cheers, Bernhard TTman 16-07-2010, 11:29 Dear All club now closed, but they have Wednesday sessions at EIS for £3 per hour. Look up Sheffield Table Tennis League and the club you are looking for is called Don Valley, you will have to provide your own bats and balls though. I hope this helps TTman Proterra 17-07-2010, 07:27 We have table tennis at Handsworth Grange school friday nights. Not free but only £5 for 2 hours. Etta coach. first session free. Got some bats to loan. TTman 17-07-2010, 12:22 Proterra, who's the ETTA coach? How good is he? When are sessions on Friday, might pop up and have a look. If its Rod Bly, he's a ****e coach. I beat him on a regular bais, his game is from 40 years ago. Ask him to show you how to counter loop and punch block. Also ask him if he can show you a legal serve, all those should show you how limited he is!:huh: Proterra 18-07-2010, 07:37 No its not Rod. Its Graham Brooke. we meet at Handsworth Grange school in the hall ( ask at sports centre reception) . The older ones come from 7pm till 9, before that its the young ones. We played in the senior league ( div 6) last year and also the Junior league. ttparsons 25-08-2010, 22:16 Hi Phil It will work out cheaper to join a club than hire regularly at a sports centre. Clubs will have social or practice nights and then match nights for teams that play in Sheffield Table Tennis League. I am a member of Wadsley Bridge and the tables are free any time there is not scheduled practice, training or matches, so you just need to find a keyholder who fancies a game. You can find a full list of sheffield league clubs and contacts at http://www.sheffieldtabletennis.co.uk/ |
