There is a change afoot to our usual weekly routine. Parents in particular please read carefully.
Coaching break for Peter Leahy
My daughter gets married at the end of June, and between now and then I have many DIY type jobs that have been neglected and need to be dealt with. Accordingly I will have a temporary break from coaching for that period on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Natland and Lower Holker and on Saturdays at Natland.

At Lower Holker with effect from Thursday 9th April

There will not be a coached session. Club Night will run from 6pm until 9pm.

Graham Rivers, who has been assisting at the Lower Holker coached sessions all season, has kindly agreed to be in attendance when he is available to do so. Graham has current DBS Certification.
Please note that from the start of the session at 6pm the Club is not acting in a supervisory role and young juniors should be accompanied by an adult. Older juniors may attend with parent/guardian approval.

Juniors are welcome to continue coming to sessions but at Lower Holker in particular and possibly on occasions at Natland it is not possible to confirm that a second adult will always be present if juniors are left unaccompanied. Please come in to the hall to check and if necessary remain until a second adult arrives. Thanks Peter

Kendal and District Table Tennis League / Season 2025-26 / Closed Tournament Finals Night and Awards Presentation

The final between Archie and Ben in the band A singles was a classic. From 2-0 down Archie pulled it back to 2-2 and then won the final game 13-11 having been 9-3 down. Both players played attacking table tennis which was a great advert for the game and at the end it was clear that both had tremendous respect for each other.

Brilliant table tennis from all, very well done and big thanks to Bob for presenting the trophies. 😃
