ODTTA in talks with Council with view to setting up a City Club
11/19/2013
We (the ODTTA) are in very early talks with the City Council about setting up a city table tennis club that can provide facilities for matches, practice, coaching and general play for all. 
The Basketball Centre on the
old Royal Mail premises in Cowley is currently being considered as the
venue, and a Community Sport Activation Fund launch event is planned to
take place there on Friday 6th December between 2 and 7pm, which we have
been asked to support.
From 2 to 4.30pm, the 4 tables will be used for a
team tournament for school children and this should be run by John
Birkin and Aubrey Hughes.
From 4.30 to 7pm, there will be an
open/drop-in session. 
This whole event is aimed at 15-21 year olds, but
it does provide us with a good opportunity to see how suitable the
venue would be as a future home for an Oxford club.  If you can attend
that Friday afternoon any time from 2 to 7pm, please come along.
