Well, would you look at that – summer’s in full swing, the table tennis bats are sizzling (from the sun and from use, of course), and we’re already knee-deep in planning for an exciting new season!

Membership Mayhem (the good kind)

First things first – yes, it’s that time again! Club membership renewals are just about ready to be released into the wild. Keep your eyes peeled, inboxes refreshed, and maybe even practice your signature for the renewal form. We know – paperwork doesn’t scream “smash and spin” – but it’s your golden ticket to another season of rallies, rivalries, and post-match biscuits.

There is a bit extra for Premier Clubs this year with free membership to SportEd – get on board and gorw your club.

Partnerships, Ping-Pong, and Progress

Behind the scenes, our team has been busier than a five-set thriller on a Friday night. We’ve been building some brilliant new partnerships to bring even more table tennis goodness to Surrey and Milton Keynes. Whether you’re a seasoned coach or someone who still refers to the paddle as a “bat-thingy”, there’ll be something coming your way soon.

And speaking of Milton Keynes… we can’t say too much just yet, but let’s just say there’s something brewing that’s bigger than a triple-shot espresso. It’s exciting, it’s innovative, and it could change the game (literally). Watch this space – or maybe just hover near your nearest table tennis table with anticipation.

Ping Aspire – A First Taste of Competition

If you’ve ever looked at a tournament and thought, “I’d love to try, but it all looks a bit too serious,” then say hello to our brand-new Ping Aspire series! Tailor-made for players who are new to the competitive scene, this is all about taking your first steps into friendly competition without needing a trophy cabinet at the ready. Think smiles, support, and just the right dose of sporting spirit.

We’ll be launching soon, and we can’t wait to see new faces (and maybe some familiar ones taking on a new challenge) getting involved.

Wrapping Up (and warming up)

So, whether you’re renewing, returning, or just starting out, there’s never been a better time to get involved. As we head into the tail end of summer, we’re buzzing for what’s ahead – from new partnerships to new players, and everything in between.

And remember – if you’re packing for holiday, don’t forget your suncream, flip flops… and maybe just slip a table tennis bat into your suitcase. You never know when you’ll find a table…

Until next time – keep pinging!
