Table tennis for charity
Posted by on 7 October 2017
It was with great pleasure that we once again held a pre-season tournament and fund raiser on Sunday 17th September 2017, assisted by our official sponsors GEWO table tennis and hosted by Stockport Table Tennis Academy.
Not only didl everyone have the opportunity to compete for trophies and prizes, but we were raising money for the We Love Manchester Charity. Every entry included a limited #lovewins Bee T Shirt.
The suicide bombing on the 22nd May 2017 at the Manchester Arena shocked all of us including the local Manchester and Cheshire table tennis community. Our tournament on the 17th September was our way of helping to raise funds for the victims and those affected by this terrorist attack. Funds raised on the day came to over £1000.
