2019 is the club’s Diamond Anniversary. To mark this occasion, we are holding a weekend of table tennis over the period 9th - 10th November at the St.Neots table tennis centre. On Saturday there will be events for players from our local leagues whilst the Sunday will be given over to elite players both men and women from around the country, so far we have 23 for both men and women who have expressed an interest. With stars like Ethan Walsh (England No 3 junior), Sam Wilson (England No 33) and Adam Jepson (England No 37) the day should offer some very good calibre table tennis to view, so well worth coming along. In the lady’s competition Mollie Patterson (England No 6) , Moldovian international Elena Todirca and the best female Polish player in the country Daria Dzierbicka have all expressed an interest to play.

The clubs AGM will be held at Newnham Village Hall on Wednesday 19th June starting at 20:00
