Linda Haysey, executive member for health, housing and community support said, “This is an excellent example of how the council can work together with local communities to offer sports and social opportunities. Participants will be able to improve their table tennis skills and overall fitness in a friendly atmosphere. I hope that East Herts residents will go along and show their support for this worthwhile scheme.”

Peter Lee, Chair of SMH said, “Table tennis is a sociable activity which improves your fitness at the same time, whatever your level of ability. This course is part of a wider programme of activities taking place at the hall, including petanque and multi-activity sessions, so I hope lots of people will come along to find out more and get involved.”
