There are around 150 members ranging from beginners and casual players through to players at the top of the national rankings. We cater for players of all ages and all standards.

COVID-19 CONTINUING ARRANGEMENTS
Even though the government has announced the ending of legal restrictions, Cippenham Table Tennis Club is maintaining some of its own restrictions. From 20 July, practice tables will be available every Tuesday from 7:30 to 10:00 pm but must be booked and paid for in advance. This service remains for members only but new membership applications are welcome. Players no longer need to book with a designated playing partner but, instead, free-flow of players is allowed within the hall so that you can practice against many different players in the same session. Please book via the link below.
The fee is £4 per players but full-time students, over-60s and unemployed members can take advantage of a 50% reduction but entering the coupon code "CON"

NEW PLANS FOR TUESDAY PRACTICE
With the government set to relax Covid-related restrictions from 19 July, we are changing the way that Tuesday evening practice sessions will operate from 20 July.
Instead of the table booking service we are going half-way back to "normal". Attendees must still be members of the Club and will have to book and pay in advance. However, individual bookings will now be taken and free movement within the hall will be permitted, allowing you to practise with all others present. The sessions will be 7:30 to 10:00 pm and fees will revert to their normal amount, i.e. £4, with 50% reduction for concessions (students, Over-60s).
