WHO WE ARE
Cippenham Table Tennis Club is an unincorporated members' club, founded in 1973. We moved into our nationally-acclaimed, purpose-built facility in Slough, Berkshire in 1996. There are over 200 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.

Children: start with our beginners’ coaching sessions on Mondays 6:00 to 7:30 pm. Starting 10 January, please just turn up at 6 pm and introduce yourself to the coach
Adults: start with the open practice sessions on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:30 pm. Children also welcome. However, at present, while continuing Covid protocols remain, players have to be members of the Club - but new memberships are welcome. Places also need to be booked in advance.

COVID-19 CONTINUING ARRANGEMENTS FOR TUESDAY AND THURSDAY PRACTICE SESSIONS
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. Thursday sessions will commence 23 September. Both Tuesday and Thursday sessions remain 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 practise against many different players in the same session. Please book via the link below.
The fee is £4 per player but full-time students, over-60s and unemployed members can take advantage of a 50% reduction by entering the coupon code "CON"
