Brighton Table Tennis Club and all outreach sessions will be closed from Wednesday 18th March due to the risk of virus transmission amongst our players, staff and volunteers. We do not want them to expose themselves to the possibility of infection.
The club will recommence sessions as soon as possible and meanwhile will be providing some small online group support to those in our community who are particularly impacted by our temporary closure.
For those who wish to continue being physically active through Table Tennis, there are over 20 BTTC tables across the city in parks, on the seafront and in other outdoor spaces for people to play using their own equipment, whilst the club is closed.
